A traffic collision occurred today on US Highway 101 South near the Marin City on-ramp in Sausalito, CA, causing significant traffic disruptions during the afternoon commute. The incident involved a single vehicle, a gold Dodge pickup truck with a camper shell, which became stalled in lane #1, leading to initial lane blockage.
Emergency traffic management units promptly responded to the scene to control the situation and mitigate traffic impact. As the pickup truck was unable to move, a tow truck was requested to assist in removing the vehicle. The blockage in lane #1 resulted in delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area, particularly near the Brazilian Steakhouse.
The tow truck arrived and worked to clear the roadway, successfully towing the vehicle by 4:46 PM. Following the removal of the pickup truck, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual delays may linger after the incident. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to stay alert and follow posted traffic signs when navigating through busy roadways. This traffic incident underscores the importance of swift emergency response to ensure safety and minimize disruption on California highways.
