Incredibly sad scene that we see on northbound 101. You can see the far right lanes are blocked because of this terrible crash that happened just before 12 30 am. We understand the taxi driver was driving on northbound 101 with an active fair carrying two passengers when they were hit by a driver coming the wrong way on northbound 101. There is a volkswagen that was driving the wrong way, unclear why that woman was driving the wrong way but she crashed into the taxi and this is the result of this terrible accident. Everyone involved in the taxi and the volkswagen has died. There were four people in total. One woman in the volkswagen passed away. The taxi driver and his two passengers passed away as well. In the last 30 minutes we spoke with chp who tells us they are barely starting to investigate this accident and are not sure why this woman was driving the wrong way. We do not know. We did get multiple calls with multiple locations. One location was northbound 101 abby 280 split, so,
Where she started driving the wrong way. It couldve been for quite some time but in any case she did crash nearly headon into the taxicab and that man was carrying two passengers in his backseat. Sadly, all four have died. The woman who is in the volkswagen, the taxicab driver and the two passengers he was carrying. A man and a woman. The chp said they are starting to look into this. Its unclear how this happened. At this point we do not know if drugs or alcohol was involved however that is something we do take a look at not only in this collision but all collisions, especially at this time of day or night.

The people in the backseat of his cab were a man and a woman but we do not know their identities or ages or where they may be coming from. We do know that luggage was found on the scene so its possible that couple had just been picked up from the airp
I saw a man on the floor, just on the floor. Lycie the man she had is in serious condition and lives nearby, the officer, her dog and two other drivers escaped major injury. Chp came in to investigate to avoid any conflict of interest. Our police are always very cautious and highly respected. So to see an accident like this is kind of shocking. The chp Major Accident Investigation Team spent the day diagramming the scene. At the time of the crash that road was sick from morning just goes to show that writing in these riding in these conditions is really dangerous. The names of the officer and everyone else involved have not yet been released. Henry, thank you. For the second day in a week it was a wet commute for many parts of the bay area this morning.
