A traffic collision occurred today on southbound State Route 87 (SR-87) near Skyport Drive in San Jose, CA, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved two vehicles: a BMW motorcycle and a white Toyota. Emergency units responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation.

The collision was reported around 3:40 PM, with the motorcycle down in the third lane. As a result, multiple lanes were closed, leading to delays and congestion for drivers during the busy afternoon commute. The Toyota vehicle remained drivable, but the blockage created a backup that affected traffic flow in the area.

Emergency responders worked diligently to clear the scene, with a tow truck requested to remove the motorcycle. Traffic management efforts were in place to ensure safety and facilitate the movement of vehicles around the incident. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the delays caused by the lane closures.

By 4:20 PM, emergency units continued to monitor the situation, working to restore normal traffic conditions on southbound SR-87. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic updates and exercise caution when navigating through the affected area.
