A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 84 East in Menlo Park, CA, resulting in major traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved three vehicles: a blue SUV, a gray sedan, and another vehicle that struck the center divider. This collision led to the full blockage of the #1 lane, causing spillover into adjacent lanes and creating considerable traffic delays.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, managing traffic and coordinating the towing of the vehicles involved. At least one vehicle was reported as undriveable, necessitating the arrival of a tow truck. The California Department of Transportation was also notified to assist with traffic control and scene management.
By approximately 7:12 AM, emergency crews had cleared the #1 lane, but traffic remained impacted as cleanup efforts continued. Motorists experienced backups and delays as they navigated through the area, particularly for those traveling eastbound on State Route 84.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion while the situation is resolved. Further updates will be provided as traffic flow is restored and normal conditions resume.
