A traffic collision on northbound US Highway 101 (US 101) near Hellyer Avenue in San Jose, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved two vehicles: a red Ford Mustang and an unknown vehicle. One vehicle was found in a ditch on the right-hand side, while the other was overturned.
The collision was reported around 10:31 PM, leading to lane closures that resulted in traffic delays for motorists during the evening hours. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP), quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic control and stabilize the area.
By 11:45 PM, responders confirmed the positions of the vehicles, indicating the need for a tow truck to assist with their removal. The presence of the overturned vehicle and the one in the ditch significantly obstructed traffic flow, prompting the CHP to implement measures to redirect vehicles and minimize congestion.
Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts continued. The CHP worked diligently to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible. Drivers in the area were urged to remain cautious and aware of ongoing traffic impacts until the situation was fully resolved.
