At least 200 people were crushed to death in their cars when a mile-long section of the upper level of Interstate 880 in Oakland collapsed onto the lower level, according to Marty Boyer, public information officer for Alameda County. Tom Mullins, spokesman for the California Officc of Emcr- gency Serviccs, said preliminary figures indicated at least 400 people had been injured through- out the area. The quake registered 6.9 on the Richter scale and was on the notorious San Andreas Fault. It forced the evacuation of 60,000 fans from Candlestick Park where they were waiting for Game Three of the World Series to begin. There were no major injuries reported at the stadium.
