A traffic collision on Interstate 680 North in San Jose, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved a single vehicle, a gray Acura RDX, which collided with a light pole, resulting in a broken right front wheel. The collision blocked off-ramp lanes, leading to a temporary shutdown of the McKee Road off-ramp by Cal Trans to ensure safety and facilitate emergency response.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. Multiple units were deployed to assist with scene management and direct vehicles away from the affected area. The downed light pole covered the entire ramp, contributing to delays and congestion for motorists navigating the busy morning traffic.
A tow truck was requested to remove the Acura RDX, which was left stranded due to the damage sustained in the collision. As traffic continued to build, Cal Trans worked diligently to clear the area and restore normal traffic flow.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays caused by this traffic incident. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal operations resume.
