One person was hurt in a crash early Tuesday that shut every northbound lane of the Golden Gate Bridge for the morning commute.
Candice BondAt least one person was hurt in a crash on the northbound side of the Golden Gate Bridge on Tuesday morning, October 27, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Early Morning Golden Gate Bridge Crash
The highway patrol said officers were sent to the bridge a little after 6:10 a.m. after a crash on the span. Every northbound lane was shut during the morning because of the crash. By about 7:15 a.m., northbound traffic was backed up past the Highway 1 and Highway 101 interchange. The southbound side, from Marin County toward San Francisco, stayed open. The people involved have not been named, and few other details have been released.
What Comes Next for Golden Gate Bridge Travelers
Officials did not say at first when the northbound lanes would reopen, and they asked drivers to find other ways to travel between San Francisco and the North Bay. The northbound lanes have since reopened. The California Highway Patrol has not released further details about the crash, and no charges have been announced.
