A serious traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred early this morning on Interstate 880 North near The Alameda Offramp in San Jose, CA. The incident began at approximately 4:38 AM when a Honda Civic swerved and collided with a barrier, causing the vehicle to overturn. Shortly thereafter, at around 4:40 AM, a motorcycle struck the overturned Civic.
The motorcycle rider was thrown from the bike during the impact and sustained severe injuries, including a compound fracture. Emergency services responded promptly, and the rider received immediate medical attention at the scene.

The motorcycle was towed from the scene at 6:31 AM, while the status of the Honda Civic remains unclear but is likely to have been towed as well. The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.
