A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 80 (I-80) westbound near the Harrison Street off-ramp in San Francisco, CA, resulting in major traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a semi-truck, a sedan, and a Tesla Model Y. The semi-truck suffered a dislodged rear axle, while the sedan sustained extensive damage from the crash.
Due to the collision, lanes one and two were blocked, leading to substantial delays and congestion in the area. Emergency response teams were dispatched to manage traffic control and clear the roadway. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles, including the Tesla Model Y, which required towing due to its condition.
Motorists traveling on I-80 during the morning commute faced significant backups as traffic was diverted around the scene. The California Highway Patrol issued a signal alert for the bridge, advising drivers to expect delays and to seek alternate routes if possible.
Emergency services worked diligently to restore normal traffic flow, but the impact of the traffic incident was felt for some time as crews worked to clear debris from the roadway. Drivers are encouraged to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions in the area.
