A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound side of State Route 87, just south of the Interstate 280 interchange in San Jose, CA. The incident took place around 6:08 PM and involved a white Toyota Prius and a white Subaru.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the collision. The Toyota Prius was confirmed to be drivable and was safely positioned on the right-hand shoulder. However, the Subaru was blocking lane four, which caused potential traffic disruptions in the area.
