A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Cesar Chavez Street off-ramp in San Francisco, CA. The incident took place around 3:09 AM and involved a small car and a blue Chevrolet Cruze. One of the vehicles was rendered undriveable and required a tow truck for removal from the scene.

Due to the traffic incident, lane closures were implemented between southbound U.S. Highway 101 and the connector to Interstate 80, leading to significant traffic delays and congestion in the area.
