LOS GATOS (BCN)
One of the two southbound lanes of State Route 17 reopened at 3:40 p.m. Saturday, almost eight hours after a fatal collision closed the highway in both directions through Los Gatos, but delays were expected to continue.
The key commuter and tourist route to Santa Cruz and other coastal communities was closed completely after a tanker truck overturned and collided with at least one other vehicle about 8 a.m. Saturday, killing one person.
The northbound lanes reopened about an hour later, but all southbound traffic was rerouted for nearly seven more hours to State Route 9, an even curvier path over the Santa Cruz Mountains.
