A traffic incident occurred today on northbound U.S. Highway 101 in San Rafael, CA, involving three vehicles: a white Lexus sedan, a black Mercedes sedan, and a black delivery van. The collision resulted in significant lane closures, particularly affecting lane two, which caused traffic delays for motorists in the area.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and ensure the safety of drivers. Initially, two of the vehicles were blocking the left lanes, leading to congestion as traffic was forced to merge into the remaining open lanes.
To alleviate the obstruction, the delivery van was moved to the right-hand side of the highway. A tow truck was also requested to assist with the removal of the damaged Lexus, which was left inoperable due to the incident.
The California Highway Patrol worked efficiently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow. Motorists were advised to exercise caution while navigating the area and to expect delays as emergency crews worked to manage the scene.
Thanks to the prompt response from emergency personnel, the situation was resolved in a timely manner, allowing traffic to gradually return to normal. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions and consider alternative routes if traveling through the affected area.
