A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 280 (I-280) at the State Route 87 connector in San Jose, CA, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a silver sedan that ended up sideways, a silver Toyota Prius that collided with a barrier, and a white Mazda SUV observed in the slow lane.
As a result of the collision, lane one was blocked, leading to increased congestion and delays for motorists during the evening commute. Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of at least one vehicle, while others were managed on-site to minimize further disruptions.
The traffic incident prompted a swift response from multiple emergency service units, who worked diligently to control the situation and clear the roadway. By approximately 7:00 PM, all lanes were reported to be open, alleviating the backup that had formed during the incident.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual traffic may still be present. This collision serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and drive safely, especially during peak traffic hours.
