SAN MATEO (CBS SF) -- All northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 just north of the connector to state Highway 92 in San Mateo reopened late Wednesday night, after a major-injury accident, according to a California Highway Patrol officer.
A vehicle overturned and caught fire, which was reported at 10:35 p.m. A Sig-alert was issued at 11 p.m. and then canceled at 11:23 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol Officer Peter Van Eckhardt.
