Electric Semi Catches Fire During Rush Hour, Shuts Down I-880 South of Oakland for 10 Hours

No sooner do I get a chance to write a piece on a couple of Li-ion battery stories than a big EV-related one happens that very afternoon. I can't imagine what kind of mess this was for the folks trying to get home. Hayward looks to be about two-thirds of the way up the I-880 if you were heading north to Oakland from San Jose. So, yeah - this had some sincere traffic impacts. All lanes of Interstate 880 in Hayward are open Wednesday morning after an electric Tesla semitruck caught fire on the freeway during the Tuesday evening commute. According to the California Highway Patrol, the fire was first reported in the southbound direction of the freeway between Winton Avenue and the Highway 92 interchange around 5:35 p.m. Officials closed the freeway in both directions due to the potential risk of hazardous chemical smoke. And, man - what a fire. This catches the early stages, and then the…

Despite Much-Criticized Early Tipoff, Dream Say WNBA Finals Game 6 Against Valkyries Is a Sellout

The Atlanta Dream say Thursday’s WNBA Finals Game 6 against the Golden State Valkyries is a sellout despite its much-criticized 12:30 p.m. Eastern tipoff Despite Much-Criticized Early Tipoff, Dream Say WNBA Finals Game 6 Against Valkyries Is a Sellout The Valkyries lead the series 3-2 and can clinch their first WNBA title with a win in the matinee at State Farm Arena. The Dream need a win to force a Game 7 on Saturday night in California. There were concerns the early tipoff would have the teams playing the potentially decisive Finals game in a half-empty arena because of fans having work and school obligations. Instead, the sellout means another Atlanta turnout of approximately 17,000 is expected for the third time in the series. “I think it’s good,” Dream coach Karl Smesko said Wednesday. "I’m glad we’re at State Farm and they got everything worked out. Everybody understands it’s…

Andy Reid Criticized for Message to ‘Female Fans’ After Chiefs Sign Justin Tucker Post-Suspension

Head coach Andy Reid was asked what kind of message it sends to “female fans” after the Kansas City Chiefs signed kicker Justin Tucker, who was accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists. “He’s done his suspension,” Reid, 68, said on Wednesday, October 28. “Took care of that business there. I’ll leave it at that for you.” The Chiefs signed Tucker, 36, to their practice squad on Wednesday, as starting kicker Harrison Butker continues to struggle. Tucker was issued a 10-game suspension in June 2025, after the NFL conducted an investigation into the multiple misconduct claims. “We try to do our homework the best way we possibly can,” Reid claimed. “Talked to a lot of people to make sure things are OK.” Reid was directly asked why he and the organization felt compelled to give Tucker a “second chance.” “I try to do homework on it and see exactly what’s taken place since,” he…

From Chattooga County to the Conference Stage: Spann Cordle’s Story of Determination, Advocacy, and Finn’s Lasting Legacy

Years ago, Spann Cordle asked the late attorney Bobby Lee Cook how he became so successful. Cook’s answer stayed with him: he was willing to travel where other attorneys would not go, take cases others did not want, and do the work others were unwilling to do. He won those cases, and people came to know his name. That conversation left a lasting impression on Cordle. Now, as he works to grow his own public speaking career, he is applying that lesson to his life. “My biggest asset is my verbal communication skills, and I plan to see how far they can take me,” Cordle said. Cordle hopes to take his story beyond northwest Georgia, sharing his experiences growing up with cerebral palsy in Chattooga County, building a career at Walmart, and partnering with his service dog, Finn. On Friday, October 30, 2026, he is scheduled to share his story at the Abilities Without Limits Conference in…
