A traffic collision occurred today involving two vehicles: a white Tesla Model 3 and a big rig on the southbound lane of U.S. Highway 101 near the Francisco Boulevard off-ramp in San Rafael, CA. The incident took place around 5:47 PM during heavy traffic conditions. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Witnesses noted that the Tesla was drivable after the collision, but the driver of the big rig left the scene before any exchange of information could occur. Due to the congested traffic, the Tesla driver was unable to exit the vehicle safely to gather details from the big rig. However, the driver managed to document the vehicle's identifying information.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene but confirmed that there were no injuries reported. The incident created a temporary disruption in traffic flow, but no lane closures were noted. The big rig was last seen continuing southbound on U.S. Highway 101, and authorities were unable to locate it afterward.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious in this area as traffic conditions may still be affected. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to stay alert and report any incidents to ensure safety on the road.
