Crash Blocks 3 Lanes of 101

The crash near Poplar Street caused a traffic nightmare.

Three lanes were closed in Burlingame on U.S. Highway 101 southbound Sunday evening following a vehicle collision involving at least two vehicles, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP Officer Damian Cistaro said officers responded to the report of a vehicle collision just north of Poplar Street at around 5:31 p.m.

Officers called in a large tow truck to remove a half-ton GMC pick-up truck, Cistaro said. But, Cistaro said he did not know how many other vehicles were involved or how many people were injured.
