Be advised, motorists: Calls in to LoCO-affiliated station KSLG indicate that a traffic accident has slowed traffic to a crawl on Highway 101 near the Eureka Slough Bridge. The Times-Standard Facebook page hints that an extraction may be in progress and that northbound lanes are blocked.

If you are near the scene and if it is safe to take a picture to give people an indicator of how serious the situation is and how soon the road might be cleared we’d mighty appreciate it.
