A traffic collision on Interstate 580 East in San Rafael, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the afternoon commute. The incident occurred around 2:20 PM and involved three vehicles: a red four-door sports car, another vehicle in the middle lane, and a third vehicle that was stopped behind the sports car.
Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene to manage the situation, implementing lane restrictions on the bridge area. These restrictions led to delays and congestion for drivers, particularly in the affected lanes. The stalled vehicle contributed to the traffic incident, resulting in backups that extended through the area.
By approximately 2:47 PM, emergency responders had the situation under control, and a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. Motorists were advised to expect lingering delays as traffic began to normalize.
This traffic incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant, especially during peak travel times. Commuters are encouraged to consider alternate routes to avoid congestion and ensure a smoother journey.
