A traffic collision occurred today on northbound State Route 87 (SR-87) in San Jose, CA, involving five vehicles, including a red Tesla, a minivan, a truck, and a white Ford. The incident took place around 8:23 AM during the morning commute, leading to the closure of the left lanes and causing significant traffic delays.
Emergency services responded promptly to manage the scene and control traffic. A total of four tow trucks were requested to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicles. The left lanes of northbound SR-87 remained blocked, which resulted in backups and congestion for drivers in the area.
As the situation unfolded, the California Department of Transportation issued a signal alert, warning motorists to expect delays while crews worked to clear the scene. The right lanes remained open, allowing some traffic to flow, but drivers were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the area if possible.
