A significant traffic collision occurred today on northbound US Highway 101 at the Interstate 280 interchange in San Francisco, CA, causing major disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved one vehicle and resulted in the complete blockage of all lanes on the highway, leading to hard lane closures and prompting emergency responders to set up cone patterns for traffic control.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Due to the collision, motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and congestion, as the area experienced significant traffic backups.
By approximately 7:15 AM, all lanes were reported to be open, and the traffic alert was canceled, allowing for the resumption of normal traffic flow. However, drivers were still encouraged to remain cautious and expect residual congestion as the roadway returned to normal conditions.
The incident highlights the importance of being aware of traffic conditions, especially during peak travel times. Commuters are urged to stay informed through local news sources and traffic advisories to navigate the area effectively.
