4 Crashes Rounding Out Monday Morning Commute

MENLO PARK - Two crashes on northbound U.S. Highway 101 caused commuting headaches on the Peninsula for the start of the work week but have since cleared, the California Highway Patrol reported.

One located north of Marsh Road blocked the left lane in Menlo Park, and the other hindered the third lane from the left south of North Rengstorff Avenue in Mountain View.

CHP also worked a crash on State Route 85 farther south in the Silicon Valley.

Also in that city, a crash with injuries was reported on northbound State Route 17 south of Interstate 280. That incident has since cleared but not before stalling the traffic flow.

Farther south in Los Gatos, a disabled truck added to the problems also on the northbound side of SR-17 at Summit Road. It has been moved.
