They say 2x the commute if you were effected by it and I am sure the re-routed traffic will effect others.

Apparently the only injury was sustained by the driver of the truck. Man, that could have been so much worse. However tomorrow morning's commute for those going into The City will definitely be listed as a casualty.

I was on my way over to Berkeley this morning at 10am, and I was like.....man, what's that motorcycle in front of me looking at! Going to slow! .....then I looked in the direction he was looking in...and WHOA! that doesn't look right.

I was coming back into SF at 11pm, and it was all backed up for the 580 guys. Have fun tomorrow...props to you guys for having the patience to sit through it!

I was driving home the night it happened and crossed the very overpass a mere hour before the accident. I drove by today going into Emeryville and you can see all the damage, its incredible, can't believe no one was hurt worse.

That would be a record. I'm thinking 3-6 months.
