A significant traffic collision involving approximately ten vehicles occurred today on the northbound side of State Route 87 at the Interstate 280 Connector in San Jose, CA. The incident was reported around 8:19 PM and was worsened by wet road conditions that caused vehicles to hydroplane.
Among the vehicles involved were a red Toyota Prius and a green Ford pickup truck. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where traffic was temporarily halted to manage the situation. Two individuals were seen directing traffic to ensure the safety of other motorists in the area.
The California Department of Transportation was notified about potential flooding in the vicinity, which may have contributed to the hazardous driving conditions. By 8:33 PM, authorities announced that both northbound State Route 87 and northbound Interstate 280 would be temporarily shut down to facilitate the response and clear the roadway.
As of now, the status of any injuries remains unknown, and no specific information has been released regarding the extent of damages or the number of vehicles affected. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and exercise caution while traveling in the area due to ongoing road conditions. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
