A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 87 North at the West Capitol Expressway off-ramp in San Jose, CA, involving three vehicles: a black Toyota, a grey GMC Sierra, and a red unknown vehicle. The incident significantly disrupted traffic flow, leading to full lane closures as emergency units responded to the scene.
Initially, all lanes were blocked, causing considerable delays and congestion for drivers during the busy afternoon commute. Emergency responders worked diligently to manage the situation, ensuring the safety of all involved and directing traffic away from the affected area. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, including a Chevrolet Silverado that was later added to the response.
As emergency personnel cleared the scene, lanes gradually reopened, allowing traffic to resume.
