A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of US Highway 101 at the Interstate 80 West on-ramp in San Francisco, CA. The incident was reported around 6:01 PM when a Tesla was struck multiple times by a Jeep.
The driver of the Tesla, who was the reporting party, indicated that the Jeep hit her vehicle several times while she was positioned in one of the slow lanes. Concerned for her safety, she remained in her vehicle, fearing further aggression from the other driver. This situation resulted in significant traffic congestion as all parties involved were stuck in the lanes.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, with an ambulance requested shortly after the initial report. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from the collision. The situation escalated as the Tesla was rammed into three times by the Jeep, raising concerns among the drivers involved.
By 6:48 PM, the California Highway Patrol reclassified the incident from a hit-and-run to a traffic collision with no injuries. The Tesla was subsequently towed from the scene, while the status of the Jeep remains unclear, though it is presumed to be drivable since no towing was mentioned for it.
Traffic was impacted during the incident, leading to delays as emergency responders worked to clear the area. The situation was resolved later in the evening when the California Highway Patrol closed the incident, allowing traffic to return to normal flow.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the need for vigilance on the road. Motorists are encouraged to report any aggressive driving behavior to authorities to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
