A van and sedan were involved in the collision, with the passenger of the van reportedly hospitalized at Stanford Hospital but details on their condition are unclear.

The driver of the sedan died at the scene. However, their identity has not been released by authorities.
Following the incident, drivers were instructed to turn around and travel in the opposite direction of westbound lanes until further notice.
In this tragic incident, one person lost their life due to wrong-way driving on a major highway, emphasizing the importance of adhering to traffic regulations.

. They're just waiting for these kinds of incidents to happen so they can justify even more surveillance and "safety" measures. I mean, what's with this westbound lane closure? It's like they're trying to monitor everyone's movements even more closely 
. And that Rooter Hero van was just a coincidence or what? 
Those guys must have been in on it too, manipulating traffic flow for... who knows what purpose? 
This whole thing is just too fishy for me 
.
. I mean, can you even imagine being in the driver's seat when you're headed in the wrong direction? It's just so reckless and thoughtless. One life lost, one person injured... it could've been so much worse. And now we have to deal with the inconvenience of turning around to go the opposite way on our daily commute 
. I think we need to be more mindful of our own driving habits and make sure we're following the rules 
. It's just not worth the risk, you know?
what's with people trying to win some kinda prize for speed? wrong way driving is not a game, it's a recipe for disaster! 
I mean, seriously, who tries to drive westbound on Highway 92 and thinks they're gonna be the first one to cross into the land of the free? 
Anyway, RIP to the guy in the sedan. One less person trying to break some speed record is definitely a plus for us all. 
like how could someone do that?! i mean i know it's easy to get distracted or tired while driving but westbound in opposite direction?? no way! 
at least the driver of the van is okay tho, fingers crossed for the passenger 
and poor guy who lost his life 
i'm so glad the authorities are taking steps to get people's attention about wrong-way driving 
The fact that the van's passenger got seriously hurt but is okay makes me think about how lucky they were... or how bad the other person in the sedan got hurt 
. Anyway, glad the driver of the van is alright, and I hope the authorities do a thorough investigation to figure out what happened. It's just so frustrating that someone lost their life over something so avoidable 
.
. Anyway, hope the person who was in the van recovers soon and takes a long time to forget about this scary experience 
.
my heart goes out to that family who lost their loved one in such a senseless accident. As a parent it's just devastating to think about how quickly our lives can change and never come back 
And what about the little ones at home worrying about their parents or caregivers being safe on the road? The thought of it is just too much for me 
. I'm all for keeping our roads safe but seriously what's taking so long to get this sorted out? 
. Glad the van's passenger made it out alive tho, but man... one life lost already? It's just not worth it, you know? 
like who does that?! they're literally putting themselves and others at risk just because they made a wrong turn or got distracted... shouldn't they just pull over instead of risking lives? 
. Can't believe someone would risk lives like that. The fact that they were traveling in the opposite direction of traffic on a major highway is just reckless. And now one person has lost their life and another is hospitalized... it's just so sad 
. Anyway, glad the driver of the van is okay, but still... let's all just take a deep breath and be extra careful out there, 'kay? 
! It's crazy that someone would drive in the opposite direction on the San Mateo Bridge, it's not worth the risk to life or others. The fact that one person lost their life is a huge wake-up call for everyone on the road.
And can we please get some better enforcement on the roads? The fact that drivers were told to turn around and travel in the opposite direction is a good start, but what about stricter penalties for wrong-way driving?
