A serious traffic collision occurred today on US101 North near the N San Pedro Road off-ramp in San Rafael, CA, involving a single passenger vehicle towing a 20-foot recreational vehicle (RV) that rolled over. The incident took place around 10:14 PM, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.
The driver reported injuries, and the vehicle was confirmed to be inoperable, requiring towing. Due to the rollover, lanes one, two, and three of US101 North were blocked, leading to significant traffic delays. The California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert shortly after the incident, warning motorists of the lane closures and advising that delays were expected for at least 90 minutes.
Emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene to provide assistance and assess the situation. The Department of Transportation Control Center was notified, and traffic management measures were implemented to divert vehicles away from the affected lanes. By 10:37 PM, the SigAlert was officially issued, indicating substantial disruptions to traffic flow.
As the situation developed, the driver was seen retrieving personal belongings from the vehicle while emergency personnel worked to clear the wreckage. A tow truck arrived shortly after, and by 11:44 PM, traffic was being diverted to the right side of the highway as crews worked to remove the overturned RV and restore normal traffic conditions.
Motorists traveling in the area are advised to seek alternate routes until the situation is fully resolved. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision and the extent of the driver's injuries. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
