A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on southbound US Highway 101 near Cesar Chavez Street in San Francisco, CA. The incident involved a blue Ford Expedition and a white Toyota Sienna van, both of which sustained significant damage and required towing assistance.
Emergency traffic units responded promptly to manage the scene, implementing partial lane closures that resulted in noticeable delays for motorists. The collision was reported around 10:03 PM, and by 10:14 PM, emergency crews were actively working to restore traffic flow. The presence of a nearby big rig added to the complexity of the situation, as it partially obstructed the slow lane, contributing to traffic congestion.
Tow trucks were dispatched to the scene, with the first arriving shortly after 10:16 PM to assist in clearing the damaged vehicles. By 10:57 PM, both vehicles had been removed from the roadway, allowing for the gradual reopening of lanes and the resumption of normal traffic conditions.
Motorists traveling through this area should remain vigilant and expect potential delays as traffic begins to normalize. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and attentiveness on busy highways.
