A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred late last night in San Jose, California, causing lane blockages and prompting a rapid response from emergency services. The incident took place at approximately 10:50 PM at the intersection of Interstate 680 South and US Highway 101 North.
The collision involved a blue Volkswagen and a white Toyota. Initial reports indicated that the second lane was blocked due to the accident. Emergency services were dispatched quickly, with the first unit arriving on the scene by 11:01 PM. The San Jose Police Department was also notified to assist with the situation.
Witnesses reported suspicious behavior from the driver of the white Toyota, who was seen removing items from the vehicle after the collision. This raised concerns among bystanders, leading to a heightened response from law enforcement. Fortunately, no injuries were confirmed at the time of the incident.
As emergency responders worked diligently to clear the scene, it was reported by 11:20 PM that the ramp was open, although the second lane remained blocked. A tow service was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, which were towed from the scene shortly after midnight. The area was fully cleared by 12:44 AM, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
While the exact cause of the collision remains under investigation, the quick response from the California Highway Patrol and local police ensured that the situation was managed effectively. Motorists in the area experienced delays due to the lane blockage, but the prompt actions of emergency services minimized the impact on traffic.
