In a chaotic morning for commuters, a jackknifed big rig caused over 160 gallons of fuel to spill onto U.S. Highway 101, disrupting Caltrain services. The accident occurred at around 5 a.m., knocking down a fence that damaged power lines and halted train operations between San Francisco and South San Francisco. Alternative transport options like BART and SamTrans were suggested as delays persisted, with partial service restoration taking place later. Meanwhile, another accident involving big rigs on Interstate 680 compounded traffic issues, leading to significant congestion. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in either incident.
A big rig collision on Highway 101 spilled over 100 gallons of fuel, causing Caltrain disruptions, while another crash on Interstate 680 left severe traffic delays.
The jackknifed big rig not only spilled 160 gallons of fuel but also impacted power lines and knocked over fencing, leading to significant commuter interruptions.
Caltrain lost power due to the wreck, managing to restore service partially only after rerouting trains, while commuters experienced delays and were advised to seek alternative transportation.
Following the accidents, traffic was heavily affected, with officials issuing Sig Alerts, and only a fraction of lanes remained open on the impacted highways during the morning rush.
