“What happened in the San Rafael crash on Lincoln Avenue today?”

A major crash shut down Lincoln Avenue in San Rafael on Wednesday morning, closing the road in both directions between Prospect Drive and Hammondale Court after police issued an alert around 8:30 a.m.

Understanding Driver Responsibility Under California Law

A major road closure like this often means a serious collision, often with injuries. It is important to allow emergency vehicles to pass to gain access. Unfortunately, the barriers erected to block or reroute traffic are sometimes confusing, or are not done in conformity with local and state regulations. This can lead to further incidents involving pedestrians, bikes, or motor vehicles.
