menlo park. northbound 101 right before willow road. several cars involved. people hurt. three even possibly four lanes blocked in that area so that's you're seeing those really super slow speeds approaching the accident scene. so again, chp we just got off the phone telling us 6:45 is the estimated time of opening with this accident. that's going to take a little longer to clear. in the
