construction site by millbrae avenue, leaving live wires on the roadway and causing a massive traffic backup. those wires, carrying 115,000 volts each, were actually laying on top of some of the cars. the driver of a ups truck on the south bound side was trapped and in the northbound lanes people inside at least 8 cars could not move because of danger of being electrocuted. it all began around 9:30 last night. >> we had a collapse of high energy lines that came down over both sides of u s1 01 north and southbound. at that point we had to shut down traffic and divert traffic off the freeway and then call the appropriate resources in place so we could mitigate this. >> they are still down and they are still hot, apparently, because people tried to cross the overpass as they were shutting down the freeway and the cops up yelling at them because if they touch any of the fencing overthere, they could get killed if it's hot. >> all the people who were

trapped got out safely and no one was injured during the entire ordeal. traffic, as we said, was backed up for miles. and here is more video of those people trapped inside their cars in the southbound lanes during the incident. abc news reporter sergio quintana called one man on his cell phone. >> the powerlines were knocked down across the highway and they are now across the lanes both directions, all lanes. >> how long have you been there? >> since 9:30 so over four hours now. you told me you are hungry? >> yeah. [laughter] >> well, the chp partially opened a lane to allow the cars with wires over them to drive away once those wires had been deenergized. redwood city chp public information officer, mart, joins

us on the phone with the latest. good morning. >> good morning, carolyn. >> what can you tell us right now what's happening? >> well, at this time we are just waiting for pg&e to allow us to open the lanes, basically. pg&e still has concerns with the wires and the structure so at this time we don't have a definite time of reopening the freeway. this is basically is very imperative we keep the freeway closed for public safety. we do not want anybody to get injured if we have not completely made sure that everything is safe for the public to drive back on the freeway. >> so do you have anytime frame, though? it is still closed now and you are saying not exactly, but it's been a long time. >> yeah, originally we were hoping to hope by 4:30 and then

it didn't happen and i don't want to give you another time we are going to open it. we want to open it as soon as we can but until it's save we cannot open it and have somebody get injured on the freeway. so once pg&e determines that everything is safe, then we can go ahead and reopen the freeway. in the meantime we are asking people to please take alternate routes, 280, take 880, or even side streets, which a lot of the people are doing right now. most them are on airport boulevard and wellness road has been pretty busy with being people being diverted off 101 and southbound 101 at millbrae. >> how many officers do you have on the scene and can you see pg&e crews out there, as well? >> yes, with he can see the pg&e crews over here and we have officers pretty much all over the place who are blocking the

freeways. i'm blocking the broadway overcrossing, as well. and then we have our people on the other side. we have all over resources, and the day shift units just came on so they are coming back over here. we've been having the sheriff's office, burlington pd, and the fire departments. so we are definitely out here. we want to make sure everybody is safe and we are going to open it as soon as possible. >> all right. and again, it's so fantastic that no one was injured in this because it's a very dangerous situation out there. art, thank you so much for joining us on the phone. we will be checking back with you this morning. good luck out there. >> so we want to know right now exactly how it's looking out there and we will check in with

sfo, give yourself lots of extra time. of course, avoid 101. take 280 throughout the morning hours. we will keep you updated on it, as well. being, when they give us an estimate by noon, it just shows you that this is going to be a major problem throughout the morning and they really don't know when they can open this up. so mass transit is the best way to go, 280 your alternate and give yourself lots and lots of extra time. carolyn. >> you will got that right. thank you, frances. >> a little bit of an electrical surge there. and there's another one. >> it's rebooting the scoreboard. there's things flashing and it's a distraction if you are in that batter's box. >> a little confusion out there last night. the power outage briefly stopped the action at at&t park. the broadcast did not show the center field scoreboard going
