A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred this morning on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 in San Jose, CA. The incident took place at approximately 6:28 AM, when a white Mercedes-Benz SUV collided with a Honda Accord. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries as a result of the crash.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where the Honda Accord was found to be non-drivable and required towing. The collision blocked the high-occupancy vehicle lane, leading to temporary traffic disruptions as responders worked to clear the area. A tow truck was dispatched to remove both vehicles, with the Mercedes-Benz being towed shortly after the incident.
By 9:12 AM, the situation was resolved, and both vehicles had been successfully removed from the roadway, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The quick response from emergency services minimized the impact on traffic, despite the initial blockage.
Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and drive safely, especially during peak hours when road conditions can change rapidly. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to adhere to traffic laws and be cautious of surrounding vehicles to prevent similar incidents in the future.
