A traffic collision involving two vehicles, including a Rivian, occurred today on the southbound ramp of US Highway 101 South (US 101 S) at the Interstate 580 East (I-580 E) interchange in San Rafael, CA. The incident led to partial blockage of the roadway, resulting in lane closures and significant traffic delays for evening commuters.
Emergency response units quickly arrived on the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. One vehicle was moved to the curb, indicating it was either drivable or repositioned, while the other vehicle required towing.
As a result of the traffic incident, drivers experienced congestion and backups, particularly for those traveling southbound under the I-580 overpass. The lane closures remained in effect until the vehicles were cleared from the roadway, contributing to delays for evening traffic.
Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area and to remain cautious as emergency services worked to restore normal traffic flow. The situation was resolved by approximately 10:18 PM, allowing for the reopening of lanes and easing the traffic conditions.
