A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on northbound Interstate 680 (I-680) near Jackson Avenue in San Jose, CA. The incident involved a white van that flipped over and a black Honda that went down an embankment, leading to significant traffic disruptions.
The collision was reported at approximately 8:31 PM, resulting in the blockage of lanes 1, 5, and 6. This caused delays and congestion for motorists during the evening commute. Emergency response teams, including multiple towing units and traffic management personnel, quickly arrived on the scene to manage the situation and clear the roadway.
By 9:00 PM, one lane had reopened, although lanes 5 and 6 remained blocked for some time. Crews worked diligently to remove the vehicles and restore normal traffic flow. By 10:09 PM, all lanes were reported to be open, alleviating the backup that had formed.
