A minor traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 280 North near the Geneva Avenue off-ramp in San Francisco, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 2:52 PM, when a gray Kia sedan collided with a silver Toyota Prius.

By 2:54 PM, both vehicles were blocking lanes 5 and 6, prompting the dispatch of emergency services.
