A two-vehicle injury crash at the midspan of the Golden Gate Bridge blocked all northbound lanes for more than an hour on Tuesday morning, Oct. 27, before the California Highway Patrol reopened them by 7:30 a.m.
Why it matters: The backup reached past the toll plaza and the Highway 1/Highway 101 interchange during the morning commute.
CHP officers were called shortly after 6:10 a.m., CBS San Francisco reported. Southbound traffic stayed open.
ABC7 reported the left lane of southbound 101 was also shut, with traffic backed up to Spencer Avenue as of 7 a.m.
Details on the injuries had not been released.
