A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the off-ramp of State Route 85 South and Camden Avenue in San Jose, California. The incident took place around 5:14 PM and involved a white Tesla and a red sedan. Reports indicate that the red sedan was driving recklessly prior to the collision, which led to the Tesla swerving and subsequently colliding with it.
Following the impact, the Tesla lost a tire, which blocked the slow lane of the off-ramp, creating a potential hazard for other drivers. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, arriving shortly after the incident was reported. Fortunately, there were no immediate reports of injuries resulting from the collision.
Authorities confirmed that the reckless driving of the red sedan was the primary cause of the incident. The slow lane of the off-ramp remained blocked for a period while emergency crews worked to clear the roadway and ensure the safety of motorists.
By 5:30 PM, the tire and axle from the Tesla were moved to the right-hand side of the roadway to facilitate traffic flow. The California Department of Transportation was notified to assist in clearing the area and ensuring that the off-ramp was safe for use.
Motorists traveling through the area were advised to exercise caution and be aware of possible delays as the situation was being resolved. This incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the potential consequences of reckless behavior on the road.
As investigations continue, authorities will work to gather more information regarding the final disposition of the vehicles involved in the collision.
