A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound side of Interstate 280, just south of Lawrence Expressway in San Jose, California. The incident was reported at approximately 6:38 PM and involved a gold SUV and a white van, both of which were blocking multiple lanes of traffic.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and Freeway Service Patrol, responded promptly to the scene. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. However, the vehicles obstructed traffic, leading to delays for motorists in the area.
As emergency responders arrived, they assessed the situation and determined that both vehicles needed to be towed from the scene. By 6:50 PM, it was confirmed that all lanes were blocked, prompting the dispatch of tow trucks to assist in clearing the roadway.
By 7:21 PM, both the gold SUV and the white van had been successfully removed from the roadway, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. The California Highway Patrol later updated the incident status to confirm that there were no injuries involved.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 280 during the incident experienced delays, but the quick response from emergency services helped to minimize the disruption. The roadway was fully cleared and reopened to traffic shortly after the vehicles were towed.
This incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant and cautious on the roads, especially during peak traffic hours. The California Highway Patrol encourages all motorists to report any hazardous conditions or accidents to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
