A traffic collision on northbound US Highway 101 in San Francisco, CA, caused significant lane blockage during the morning commute today. The incident, which involved two vehicles—a white Mini Cooper and an unknown vehicle—was reported at approximately 6:14 AM. As a result of the crash, one lane was blocked, leading to delays for motorists in the area.
