Highway 280 crash forces lane closures
A motorcycle officer from the California Highway Patrol was injured when a Tesla collided with him, causing the officer to be thrown from his vehicle on southbound Interstate 280 in San Mateo County. The crash forced the closure of several lanes on Monday. The officer was responding to a report of an electric leaf blower on the road when the Tesla did not yield to his emergency lights and struck him. The officer sustained significant but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital. The Tesla driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. Authorities are looking into whether the Tesla's safety systems were active during the incident. Motorists were advised to expect lengthy delays and seek alternative routes, as several lanes remained closed for further investigation. SkyFOX footage captured the aftermath, showing the damaged Tesla and the officer's fallen motorcycle on the highway.
