A traffic collision on Southbound State Route 87 (SR 87) in San Jose, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident involved one vehicle, a BGE 4D SUV, which struck a guardrail, leading to a partial lane closure of lane 1 and restrictions at the Almaden Offramp.
Emergency services responded promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Units arrived shortly after the collision was reported, working to clear the area and minimize disruptions for motorists. The SUV was eventually moved to the southbound SR 87 on-ramp at Almaden, but the lane closure resulted in noticeable congestion and delays for drivers in the vicinity.
Motorists traveling on SR 87 should anticipate backups and delays as the aftermath of the traffic incident continues to impact traffic flow. The lane restrictions at the Almaden Offramp may lead to further congestion as drivers navigate around the affected area.
Authorities are advising drivers to exercise caution and consider alternative routes to avoid delays. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal traffic patterns resume.
Stay informed about traffic conditions and plan your route accordingly to minimize delays.
