A multi-vehicle collision on the San Mateo Bridge resulted in one fatality and another person being injured, according to authorities. The incident occurred just before 3pm on Tuesday when a van and sedan collided between Highway 92. A Rooter Hero van was involved in the crash.

The California Highway Patrol confirmed that the passenger of the van suffered injuries but the extent is currently unknown. However, the driver of the vehicle was uninjured.

On the other hand, the driver of the sedan died at the scene and their identity will be revealed by the coroner after conducting a thorough investigation into their death.

Following the accident, authorities told drivers to turn around and travel in the opposite direction of the westbound lanes until they were reopened for traffic.
 
🚗😬 I'm tellin' ya, somethin's fishy about this whole thing... like what was that van doin' on the bridge, anyway? And a Rooter Hero van? That company's all about fixin' pipes and drains, right? What were they doin' out there in the middle of nowhere? And the driver of the van gets hurt but the other guy in the sedan... it's like, what was their deal? They were just drivin' along, minding their own biz, and then BAM! Dead as a door nail. It's all too convenient if you ask me 😐🚫
 
Wow 🚨💥 that's so crazy! a roofer hero van just got involved in a serious accident on the san mateo bridge, I'm glad the driver was okay tho 😌💕 at least one person is dead tho 😢 it's always sad when there's an accident like this and people get hurt 🤕 hope the injured person recovers soon 💪🏼😊
 
.. just heard about that multi-vehicle collision on the San Mateo Bridge 🚨😱. Honestly, it's just so senseless when accidents like this happen. The thought of a Rooter Hero van getting involved in the crash is pretty wild too - I mean who expects to see one of those around? 🤯 Anyway, my condolences go out to the family of the person who passed away, and also to the injured passenger of the van. Hopefully they'll be okay soon 💕. The whole thing just makes you wonder what could've been done differently to prevent it from happening in the first place 🤔.
 
😬 this is like the third major multi-vehicle collision on that bridge this year already 🚗💥 what's going on with that road?! it's crazy how fast accidents can happen and have such devastating consequences 💔 the roads need some serious maintenance or upgrading, you know? I mean, it's not just about fixing potholes, but also making sure there are enough lanes and cameras to prevent stuff like this from happening 📹🚨
 
😱 just heard about that multi-vehicle collision on the San Mateo Bridge... one fatality is just way too many 🤕 hope the injured person recovers fast 💨 what's the deal with Rooter Hero vans always getting involved in accidents? 🙄 anyway, my mind is with the families of the people affected by this tragedy 😔 and I can only imagine how chaotic it must've been for drivers on Highway 92 during that time... poor people who have to deal with traffic delays just got a lot more stressful 😩
 
I don’t usually comment but... I was driving through San Francisco last year and it totally freaked me out seeing all those construction signs 🚧 on the bridges. Now this multi-vehicle collision, my heart goes out to the fatality's family 😔. One thing that got me thinking is how important these traffic lanes are for commuters – like, I can barely imagine dealing with delays because of some accident... it makes you appreciate just how fragile our daily routines are 🙏. On a lighter note, have you guys ever seen those YouTube videos of people who try out weird roadside food? I think I'll stick to my delivery from Uber Eats though 😂. Anyway, my condolences again to the families involved 🤗
 
Ugh, can you believe how crazy that multi-vehicle collision on the San Mateo Bridge was? 🚗😱 I mean, a Rooter Hero van being involved is just insane! Anyway, it's really unfortunate that one person lost their life and another got injured in such a tragic incident. The fact that the driver of the sedan died instantly at the scene must be so tough for their loved ones 😔. Glad to hear that the passenger in the van suffered injuries but not too serious... yet! 🤞 And honestly, I'm just glad everyone involved is safe or at least will get the medical help they need soon 💊. Now, let's all hope for a smooth reopening of the westbound lanes and hopefully no more accidents happen anytime soon 🚨💫
 
man I just heard about that crazy crash on the San Mateo Bridge 🤯😱... so like one person died and another got hurt pretty bad... it's such a shame that the Rooter Hero van was involved too, hope the passenger is gonna be alright tho 💕. I remember when the Avengers marathon first aired back in 2012, there was this similar incident on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, but thankfully no one died 🙏. anyhoo, drivers gotta be super careful right now, especially with all these road closures 🚧👍
 
man... this is crazy 🤯 like, who needs that kind of stress on the road? I'm all about giving people space to breathe, you feel? But seriously, having to turn around and go back the other way? It's like, extra. I mean, what if you're already running late for a meeting or something? And what about the roads are gonna be worse after that? more traffic = more stress 🚗😩
 
ugh my heart sank when I read this 🤕 what kind of world we're living in where people have to die on a bridge because of some stupid car crash? it's just so senseless 😩 and poor guy who died, RIP 🌹 hope the survivor gets better soon 💨 meanwhile authorities are doing their thing, at least they're being responsible about closing down those roads till everything is safe again 🚨 stay safe everyone on the roads 👍
 
😱 what's going on with this bridge?! I'm still trying to process how fast everything happened, one sec van, sedan, Rooter Hero van... all just colliding 🚗💥. Poor guy in the sedan died, so sad 😔. Hope the person in the van recovers quickly, been there done that, no good vibes from this accident 🤕. authorities are doing their thing, keeping traffic at bay while they investigate 💡.
 
😐 Just another day on the roads... who's checking those blind spots?! 🚗💥 This is why we need more cameras on our highways. It's just a matter of time before someone gets hurt bad enough to lose their life. And what really gets me is that Rooter Hero van was there, which means they have better safety features than most cars... should be setting an example for the rest of us.
 
Ugh this is so crazy 😱! Like, can't we just have one day without some major accident on the bridge? It's already bad enough that you're stuck in traffic, now we gotta deal with a multi-vehicle collision too 🚗😬. I'm just glad the driver of the van was okay, but one fatality is still way too much 💔. And what about all those people who had to witness this tragedy? That's just so traumatic for them 😩. The police did their best to clear up the mess and get everyone moving again, which is more than we can say for our traffic situation 🚫💨. Anyway, let's just hope this incident doesn't become a regular thing on that bridge...
 
just got word about this crazy multi-vehicle collision on the San Mateo Bridge 🚨👀 and i gotta say, my heart goes out to the victims, but like what's with the Rooter Hero van getting involved in a crash on a normal bridge? 🤔 anyway, it's wild that the passenger of the van got hurt but the driver was fine 🙏. the saddest part is the sedan driver who lost their life - RIP 😢. and omg, the authorities had to shut down the whole westbound lane due to all the wreckage... hope everyone can get back on track soon 💪. btw, has anyone heard about any road safety upgrades coming to cali? that'd be awesome 🚗💡
 
Ugh, what a crazy day on the roads 🚗😬. I mean, one fatality is always tragic, but can't we just get a little luck on our side for once? A Rooter Hero van, of all things, getting involved in this wreck... like it's some kind of bad omen or something 🤯.

And the worst part is, there was only one injured passenger, which just goes to show how unlucky the other person was to be driving that van 💔. And now we've got the driver of the sedan who died, RIP I guess... poor guy didn't stand a chance on this day 😕.

And can you believe the authorities had to send out a message telling everyone to turn around and drive in the opposite direction? Like, what's next? Road closures due to... a bird or something? 🐦 Just great.
 
Ugh, can't even drive on the road without drama rn 🚗😩 I mean, the fact that it was a Rooter Hero van involved in the crash just makes me think someone's been having a rough day... and to make matters worse, the driver of the sedan died 😔. It's always these unexpected moments when you're driving home from work and suddenly life changes. Glad no one else was more seriously hurt tho 🤞, but still, can't believe we need road closures just because of a multi-vehicle collision 🚧😬
 
omg what's going on with these bridges lol I swear the Rooter Hero van was from that 1 show right? anyway idk how serious the injuries are but hopefully the person recovers soon 🤞 the sedan driver died though, that's so sad RIP they were probably just driving home from work or something 🚗💔
 
🚨 This is so crazy! I mean, who expects a van to crash with a Rooter Hero van on the San Mateo Bridge? It's just one of those things that happens, you know? The good news is that the driver of the sedan was able to pass away quickly, which is at least. But yeah, another person got hurt and it could've been so much worse.

The thing that really got me was how the authorities handled the situation. They were super clear about giving drivers a way out of there while they fixed the bridge. I mean, we all know what happens when you leave one accident unattended, right? So yeah, kudos to them for being proactive and keeping everyone safe.

Now, I'm curious to see how long it'll take to get the report from the coroner on who was driving that sedan. Hopefully it's not too much of a delay. Can't wait to hear more about this! 😕
 
Ugh, just saw that on my news feed 🙅‍♂️... it's so crazy how accidents like this can happen on our highways. I mean, you're driving along, minding your own biz, and then BAM! You're involved in a multi-vehicle collision 😱. The fact that someone lost their life is just devastating. It's always the ones we don't see coming, right? 🤦‍♂️

I'm so glad the driver of the van was okay, though... I guess you could say they dodged a bullet 🛸. And the authorities were super quick to respond and get everyone out of harm's way, which is really appreciated. But still, it's just so frustrating that something like this has to happen in the first place 😔.

And can we talk about how some roads need more maintenance? Like, I know accidents happen, but it feels like they're just becoming more frequent and intense over time 🤯. It's not just about safety; it's also about our mental health and well-being when we're stuck in traffic or dealing with the aftermath of an accident 💔.

Anyway, my thoughts are with the family of the person who passed away... may they find some peace soon ❤️.
