A traffic collision involving a single vehicle occurred today on the southbound Interstate 680 to the northbound U.S. Highway 101 transition in San Jose, CA. The incident took place around 11:34 PM when a black truck collided with traffic control barrels, resulting in the vehicle blocking multiple lanes. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to manage the situation. A tow truck was called to remove the vehicle, and the roadway was cleared shortly thereafter. However, the collision caused damage to approximately 12 traffic control barrels, which will need to be replaced. As a result, the first lane of southbound Interstate 680 to southbound U.S. Highway 101 was temporarily closed to facilitate cleanup and repairs.
Traffic control measures were implemented to ensure the safety of motorists during the incident. The Department of Transportation Control Center was notified, and a cleanup crew is expected to return later this week to replace the damaged barrels.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as repairs are made. While the roadway has been cleared, residual traffic impacts may still be experienced as normal conditions are restored. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving and awareness of road conditions.
