PIX Now -- Friday afternoon headlines from the KPIX newsroom

FOSTER CITY -- CHP have issued a special traffic alert Friday afternoon following a collision involving five vehicles in eastbound lanes of Highway 92 on the San Mateo Bridge that for a time blocked lanes in both directions.

The accident happened at about 3:30 p.m., with the alert issued a short time later. The crash blocked the left and center lanes midspan, authorities said. Traffic in the eastbound direction was only getting by in the one remaining open lane, causing a major back-up. One person suffered a minor injury, CHP said.

Responding emergency crews were also blocking the left lane in westbound direction, according to a Caltrans image that was shared by the KCBS Traffic Twitter account.  

Shortly after 4:15 p.m., the emergency vehicle that was blocking the westbound lane had cleared the scene. As of around 4:45 p.m., the eastbound closure had been reduced to just one lane. That lane finally reopened shortly before 6 p.m. Motorists are advised to expect residual delays in the area.
