Lanes of Highway 101 closed Sunday due to overturned big rig

REDWOOD CITY — Several northbound lanes were closed for hours on Highway 101 near Marsh Road on Sunday due to an overturned big rig truck, authorities said.

An unknown vehicle made an unsafe lane change in front of the big rig, causing it to lose control and crash into a sedan in the fourth lane, according to a California Highway Patrol spokesperson. The big rig then landed on its side on top of the sedan. Both drivers were transported to Stanford Hospital for minor injuries.

The crash caused three lanes to be closed for hours, with one reopening around noon, according to a social media post from the California Highway Patrol Redwood City office. All but one lane had been reopened as of 8:20 p.m., and traffic was flowing more smoothly, according to traffic reports.
