3 Hospitalized After Wrong-Way Collision on I-280
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (February 27, 2024) — A major collision involving a wrong-way driver on southbound I-280 in San Francisco led to three people being hospitalized on Monday afternoon.
The incident, which occurred just north of San Jose Ave. near the Geneva Avenue on-ramp around 2:30 p.m., involved three cars and resulted in significant lane closures.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that the accident was caused by a driver traveling north in the southbound lanes, prompting a swift response from emergency services. Chopper footage captured the aftermath, showing two vehicles with extensive damage and rescue crews working to free an individual from a silver sedan – identified as the wrong-way vehicle.
Despite the chaos, all lanes were reopened by 4 p.m. following an intense cleanup and investigation effort by multiple CHP and fire units, alongside ambulances at the scene.
The wrong-way collision on I-280 incident, linked to earlier reports of a vehicle causing multiple accidents while driving against traffic, underscores the dangers of wrong-way driving on freeways.
