A traffic collision on US Highway 101 South at the junction with State Route 85 South in San Jose, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved a single vehicle, a white Ford Explorer Sport, which sustained rear damage. As a result, at least two lanes were closed, leading to a complete stop of traffic in the area and creating considerable delays for evening commuters.
Emergency response teams, including several units from the California Highway Patrol, were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. A tow truck was called to remove the damaged vehicle, which was subsequently taken to the Hollister-Gilroy Office.
The closure of two lanes contributed to traffic congestion, affecting the flow of vehicles and causing backups for drivers navigating through the area. Fortunately, all lanes were reported to be open again shortly after midnight, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the vicinity as residual delays may persist. This traffic incident highlights the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to stay alert while traveling on the highway.
