Overturned Big Rig Block NB Lanes of Hwy 101 in San Rafael

An overturned truck is blocking lanes on both northbound and southbound U.S. Highway 101 near the North San Pedro Road off-ramp in San Rafael Friday morning, the California Highway Patrol said.

All southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 in San Rafael have reopened after an overturned truck closed them Friday morning, the California Highway Patrol said.

The northbound truck struck the concrete wall in the center divide near North San Pedro Road scattering the food it was hauling. The truck was leaning on its side on the wall, CHP Officer Andrew Barclay said.

Four lanes of northbound U.S. Highway 101 are still closed but one lane is open, the CHP said.

San Rafael fire officials said two people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries because of the crash.
