Traffic Collisions in California
The early morning crash at Lincoln Way and 31st Ave highlights the risks drivers face on San Francisco’s busy and often congested streets. Even during lower traffic hours, factors such as reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and excessive speed can contribute to serious collisions.
