A single-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on Interstate 280 South near the 25th Street off-ramp in San Francisco, CA, due to flooding conditions. The incident took place around 1:28 AM when the vehicle lost control and ended up sideways in the slow lane. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they discovered the vehicle partially blocking the slow lane and debris scattered across all lanes. By 1:41 AM, it was confirmed that all lanes were flooded, creating hazardous driving conditions for motorists. Reports indicated that water levels were several inches deep, further complicating the situation.
A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicle, and by 1:51 AM, the vehicle was successfully moved off to the Cesar Chavez off-ramp. However, the tow provider encountered challenges in reaching the location due to the ongoing flooding. By 3:55 AM, efforts to clear the area were still underway.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 280 South should remain cautious and be aware of potential delays while navigating through the affected area. The California Department of Transportation has been notified to assist in managing the flooding and ensuring the safety of all drivers.
