Rock slide on Highway 101 in Sausalito impacts morning commute

Morning commute traffic from Marin County to San Francisco was backed up after a rock slide closed southbound Highway 101 near Rodeo Drive in Sausalito early Monday.

The slide was reported to the California Highway Patrol just before 4:30 a.m. after several cars hit the rocks.

At least six vehicles were damaged, with one sustaining “major damage,” after striking the rocks, but there were no injuries reported, according to the California Highway Patrol.

All lanes were closed during the cleanup, which was completed before 7:10 a.m. The backup dissipated before 7:45 a.m.

#Continuing – Rockslide still blocks SB Hwy 101 south of Rodeo Ave exit. Commute forced off fwy @ Marin exit. Sensors show access from Spencer Park & Ride gets you onto Hwy 101 past closure… DOT arriving to clear some lanes… No ETO yet. ALT: Bridgeway (6:27a) @NBCBayArea pic.twitter.com/SSIO4A083d
