A traffic collision on US Highway 101 South in South San Francisco, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved a single vehicle, a Nissan Kicks, which led to debris being scattered across the southbound lane. Emergency services responded promptly to manage the situation and ensure the safety of motorists.
The collision was reported at approximately 2:44 PM, initially categorized as a disabled vehicle. However, it was quickly reassessed as a traffic collision. By 2:51 PM, emergency crews had moved debris to the right-hand side of the southbound lane, just south of the Bayshore Boulevard off-ramp. Despite these efforts, lane restrictions remained in place, resulting in delays for drivers in the area.
A tow truck was requested around 3:18 PM to assist with clearing the vehicle from the roadway. As a result, motorists experienced congestion and backups during the afternoon commute. Emergency units worked diligently to manage traffic flow and minimize disruptions.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution while traveling through this area and to anticipate potential delays until the situation is fully resolved. The California Highway Patrol is actively monitoring traffic conditions as they work to restore normal flow on US Highway 101 South.
