People on highway 680 regularly go 75-85mph WHILE tailgaiting. Also looks like a pickup truck was involved. My guess is that the pickup truck sped up and tried to pass from the right like they always do causing a chain reaction pile up. Multi-vehcile accidents and Pile ups only happen when several or more vehicles are all speeding while tailgaiting. Because if they weren't they would be able to perform evasive maneuvers or slow down. The stupidity and reckless speeding is insane in the bay area. Better by hyper aware during early morning commute hours from 4am to 7am and post evening rush hour from around 8pm to 930pm. People think because traffic has opened up that gives them the right to drive 80+ mph and tailgate. Also lots of people are driving drunk from 9pm to 11pm since they've just finished their post work evening dinner at the restaurant and are buzzed.

Let me guess. Tailgating and cutting in the truck's follow space.

Ok, so going at 75-80mph tailgating other cars at same speed with one hand on steering wheel and other holding the smartphone! Guess what happens!! 🤦

People driving aggressively and way too fast these days, it’s like watching NASCAR on the highway.

That’s the worse spot cause the traffic that going to mission to 880 stops and backs up in the south bound slow lane. If your not watching the cars are standing still in the slow lane so it creeps up on you fast
