Gruesome Car Accident Early Sunday Shuts Down Much of 101

Two unrelated people were killed late Saturday night after being struck by multiple cars, causing all but two lanes of 101 to remain closed most of the day on Sunday. An allegedly intoxicated woman, who had been driving northbound in the southbound lanes of 101 in San Mateo at 3 a.m. Sunday morning, pulled over near the East Poplar Avenue exit and got out of her car. A male driver saw her and stopped to help her (perhaps she was stumbling around), and the two were struck by a limousine and thrown into the northbound lanes where they were struck by several more cars. According to the CHP, the extent of the crash site spanned 3,000 feet. [Chron]
