A three-vehicle crash north of the Cuesta Grade summit blocked all lanes of southbound traffic on Highway 101 Monday morning, according to Caltrans District 5, making for a slow morning commute to San Luis Obispo.

The vehicles were quickly moved, but traffic was at a crawl as of 10 a.m., the Caltrans traffic live stream showed, with traffic backing up almost to Santa Barbara Road in Atascadero.

It has not yet been reported whether any of the drivers suffered injuries in the accident.
