A traffic collision on Interstate 80 East in San Francisco, CA, caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident, involving one vehicle—a black Nissan Kick—occurred around 9:12 PM when the driver swerved to avoid another vehicle. This resulted in the Nissan requiring towing due to mechanical issues.
As emergency responders arrived on the scene, the middle lane was blocked, and bridge access was restricted, leading to congestion and delays for motorists in the area. Traffic management units worked diligently to control the situation and redirect vehicles away from the affected lanes.
By approximately 10:42 PM, the roadway was cleared, and all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, drivers experienced backups and delays during the incident as emergency crews worked to manage the scene effectively.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas where traffic incidents have occurred. The California Highway Patrol emphasizes the importance of safe driving practices to help prevent future collisions and ensure smoother traffic flow.
