An early morning crash on southbound Highway 101 at Kastania Road briefly blocked all lanes of traffic Wednesday morning. As of 7 a.m., all lanes were open but traffic was still moving slowly through the area.

When the two vehicles collided, the mangled wreckage locked the cars together, making it difficult for emergency crews to clear the roadway. Traffic backed up to Pepper Road as commuters waited for the road to open.

Currently, traffic remains backed up to the Cotati Grade.
