SAN FRANCISCO—On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at approximately 11:22 a.m. in the morning, a two-vehicle accident between a black Lexus Sports Utility Vehicle (SVU) and a blue Mercedes-Benz coupe occurred on the north of Ocean Avenue exit on the Southbound of Interstate 280 (I-280). It temporarily blocked off the slow lane of I-280, which then affected the traffic of the exit off-ramp to Ocean Avenue.
The accident blocked the off-ramp exit to Ocean Avenue for approximately forty minutes for emergency responders. People who were involved in the accident, had minor injuries, causing the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to call for an ambulance, which temporarily blocked the I-280 off-ramp for first responders. Not only was an ambulance called to the scene, but a fire crew also was called as well. The full extent of the injured parties is not known at this time.
Both vehicles in the accident had been towed away by local tow truck companies, but there was a delay in availability of flatbed trucks from local tow truck companies, according to the CHP. There were six other vehicles that pulled over to the side of I-280 either to provide witness’ accounts or to wait out the traffic delay.
By approximately 12:04 p.m. in the afternoon, the CHP had been working to clear the road for traffic again and is now investigating on the vehicle accident. The CHP has yet to confirm whether speed of the vehicles, impairment of the drivers or for whatever reason were involved in the collision.
