A six-vehicle traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 880 South at the interchange with US Highway 101 South in San Jose, CA. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this incident.
The collision was first reported at approximately 4:03 PM, with all vehicles blocking the second lane of traffic. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), promptly responded to the scene. By 4:12 PM, all vehicles had been moved to the right-hand side of the road, reducing the impact on traffic flow.
Among the vehicles involved, a gray Mazda CX-3 was determined to be not drivable and required a tow truck. The tow truck arrived at approximately 4:30 PM to assist in removing the Mazda from the scene. The status of the other vehicles involved was not specified, but it was implied that they were drivable and did not require towing.
Initially, the CHP classified the incident as a traffic collision with unknown injuries. However, this was quickly updated to indicate that there were no injuries involved. The swift response from emergency services helped to minimize traffic disruption, and the FSP closed their incident shortly after the vehicles were cleared from the lane.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 880 South should remain cautious as residual traffic delays may still occur as the roadway returns to normal conditions. The CHP encourages drivers to stay alert and practice safe driving habits.
This incident highlights the importance of prompt action in the event of a traffic collision and serves as a reminder for all drivers to prioritize safety on the road.
