North San Pedro News

Those all-too familiar with the rump-bumpety bump of a drive up Highway 101 from North San Pedro Road to Novato will be pleased at Caltrans's upcoming plans to smooth your commute.

A San Rafael man driving a box truck with a flatbed trailer attached was charged with spilling a load onto the highway in the San Rafael area Saturday afternoon, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Two lanes of southbound Highway 101 were blocked after a big rig became detached from its trailer in Marin County, a California Highway Patrol officer said.
