A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 280, just south of Ocean Avenue in San Francisco, California. The incident took place at approximately 4:13 PM and involved a dark gray Lexus E80 and a white Tesla Model S. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, with multiple units dispatched to assess the situation. By 5:02 PM, the scene was cleared, and it was confirmed that there were no injuries. Initially, there was a request for an ambulance, but the occupants of the white Tesla declined medical assistance, stating they were not injured.
The white Tesla was determined to be not drivable and required towing from the scene. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicle. The condition of the dark gray Lexus was not explicitly detailed, but it was likely drivable based on preliminary assessments.
