A traffic collision on southbound State Route 87 (SR-87) at Alma Avenue in San Jose, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved two vehicles, including a blue Ford Bronco, which was towed from the scene at the owner's request. The status of the second vehicle remains unclear.
Emergency services responded quickly to manage traffic flow and secure the area. As a result of the collision, temporary lane closures were implemented, leading to delays for commuters during the morning rush hour. Initially, only the left lane was open, causing backups and congestion as traffic was diverted to the Alma Avenue off-ramp.
Traffic control measures were established, with multiple emergency units assigned to the scene. As the situation progressed, additional lanes were reopened, but the roadway remained partially closed for some time, prompting a sigalert to inform drivers of the ongoing delays.
By late morning, all lanes were cleared, and traffic resumed normal flow. The blue Ford Bronco was successfully towed, allowing for the complete reopening of the roadway. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential residual delays in the area.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the need for prompt emergency response to minimize traffic disruptions.
