As KPIX reports, the crash occurred around 1:30 pm and involved one overturned vehicle. It's not clear how many people may have been injured in the crash. The CHP said that individuals involved sustained "mild to moderate" injuries.The crash and its aftermath initially blocked three lanes of southbound traffic, backing up cars well into San Francisco. Since then, one lane opened up, but two lanes were reportedly still closed as of 2 pm, per KRON4. Motorists heading down the Peninsula, to the aiport or elsewhere, were being instructed to use I-280, or to try to get on 101 south of Cesar Chavez.This is a developing story.
