A traffic collision involving a single vehicle occurred today on State Route 87 North near Skyport Drive in San Jose, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 11:08 PM when witnesses observed a yellow Honda sedan off the roadway, approximately 15 feet down an embankment and positioned at a 45-degree angle.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene after witnesses reported no response from the vehicle's occupants. The California Highway Patrol initially classified the incident as a traffic collision with unknown injuries, but it was later updated to indicate that an ambulance was en route.
At 11:09 PM, it was noted that the vehicle was barely visible from the roadway, prompting further investigation. A witness attempted to check on the occupants but received no response, raising concerns for their safety. The situation necessitated the arrival of a tow truck to remove the vehicle, which was confirmed to be blocking traffic.
By 11:24 PM, a tow truck was requested to assist with the recovery of the yellow Honda sedan, which was confirmed to be in a precarious position off the embankment. The tow truck arrived on the scene around 11:48 PM, and the vehicle was obstructing the second lane of traffic, potentially causing delays for motorists.
The California Department of Transportation was notified, and traffic control measures were implemented to ensure the safety of both emergency responders and passing vehicles. As of now, the extent and nature of any injuries remain unclear, and authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling in the area and to be aware of potential lane closures as recovery operations continue.
