A serious traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 680 near the McKee Road East on-ramp in San Jose, CA. The incident involved two vehicles: a gray four-door sedan and a white vehicle, which sustained significant damage and was left blocking the roadway.
The collision took place around 3:52 PM when the gray sedan struck the white vehicle. The impact caused the white vehicle to veer off the roadway, resulting in major damage, particularly to its rear. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and San Jose Fire Department, quickly responded to the scene.
Reports indicated that a passenger in the gray sedan appeared to have sustained injuries, prompting the dispatch of an ambulance. By 3:58 PM, it was confirmed that the injured passenger was holding their head and needed medical attention. The California Highway Patrol subsequently updated the incident status to "Ambulance Enroute."
Traffic was affected as the white vehicle blocked part of the on-ramp, and a tow truck was called to remove both vehicles from the scene. By 4:21 PM, the incident was officially closed, and the roadway was cleared for traffic.
Motorists in the area were advised to exercise caution and expect possible delays as emergency services managed the situation. Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved in the collision, which helped to minimize further complications.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in busy traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision to determine the cause and any potential violations.
As always, drivers are encouraged to stay alert and drive responsibly to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.
