A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of US Highway 101 near the Vermont Street off-ramp in San Francisco, CA. The incident involved five vehicles, including a white Chevrolet pickup, which was recovered from the scene. The other vehicles remained at the location pending recovery.
The collision blocked multiple northbound lanes, leading to considerable traffic disruptions during the afternoon commute. Motorists experienced delays and congestion as emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) arrived to manage the situation and secure the area.
In response to the traffic incident, the Vermont Street off-ramp was temporarily closed, further complicating traffic flow. Authorities issued a signal alert due to the blockage of several lanes, advising drivers to expect significant delays.
As emergency crews worked diligently to clear the scene, traffic remained slow-moving, with backups extending for several miles. By late afternoon, the situation began to improve as lanes were gradually reopened, and the signal alert was eventually canceled. Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and stay informed about traffic conditions in the area.
