San Francisco Crash on Cesar Chavez Street and Highway 280
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (December 27, 2020) – Saturday afternoon, there were no injuries in a fiery accident on Cesar Chavez Street and Highway 280.
The crash involving a Recology truck happened around 8:20 a.m. on Cesar Chavez Street. According to reports, the garbage truck had a mechanical problem. Then, it caught fire on the Cesar Chavez Street offramp from northbound Interstate Highway 280.
Fortunately, the driver managed to get out safely and the San Francisco firefighters put off the blaze.

Due to the high chance of injury or death in an accident, extreme caution should be taken whenever you drive. Also, drive cautiously and always expect the unexpected.
What’s Next after a Crash
As common of an occurrence as they are, many people do not suspect what follows in the event of a crash.
When driving, scan the road 1/2 mile to a full mile ahead to check whether there’s a possible hazard. Our bodies weren’t designed to travel at 50mph. Also, we were designed for speeds of less than 10mph. Thus, you need to learn to consciously break that instinct and focus farther ahead
