A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of State Route 87, near the Interstate 280 interchange in San Jose, CA. The incident took place around 4:25 AM and involved a tan Chevrolet Silverado and a gray or black Jeep. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the collision.
The Chevrolet Silverado sustained minor damage and was drivable, while the Jeep was blocking a lane, requiring a tow. Emergency services responded promptly to manage the situation and assist the drivers involved. As the Jeep obstructed traffic, other vehicles were observed swerving to avoid it, creating a potential hazard for motorists.
By 4:31 AM, a tow truck was requested to remove the Jeep from the slow lane. The situation escalated when it was reported that the driver of another vehicle involved had fallen asleep at the wheel but was later awake and moving slowly in the northbound lanes.
Traffic was impacted during the incident, with lane closures in effect as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. By approximately 4:58 AM, the tow truck was on its way to remove the Jeep, allowing for the gradual reopening of the affected lanes. Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as cleanup efforts continue.
