A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on southbound US-101 near the Alanna Way on-ramp in Brisbane, CA. The incident took place at approximately 4:55 AM, leading to significant lane blockages and the issuance of a SigAlert at 5:23 AM.
Emergency services, including multiple units from the California Highway Patrol and local police, responded promptly to the scene. Upon arrival, they found a black Honda and a Neon sedan involved in the collision, with debris scattered across multiple lanes. Fortunately, the report indicates that no significant injuries were sustained, although the extent of any minor injuries remains unclear.
As emergency responders assessed the situation, they determined that one of the vehicles was non-extractable and required heavy-duty towing, while the other vehicle was also likely towed from the scene. The presence of debris and the blocked lanes caused a disruption in traffic flow, prompting authorities to issue the SigAlert to inform motorists of potential delays.
By 6:04 AM, lanes two and three were reopened, while lane four remained closed for further clearance. The situation was effectively managed, and by 7:04 AM, all lanes were cleared, leading to the cancellation of the SigAlert. Motorists were advised to proceed with caution as the area returned to normal traffic conditions.
The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision. Authorities are urging drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. For ongoing updates and traffic advisories, residents are encouraged to monitor local news sources and the California Highway Patrol's official communications.
