A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 85 North at the junction with State Route 87 North in San Jose, CA. The incident took place around 10:24 AM and involved a grey Honda CRV and a black BMW SUV. Both vehicles were confirmed at the scene, and the collision resulted in lane 1 being blocked, leading to significant traffic congestion during the morning commute.

Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene and direct traffic. Towing services were called to remove the vehicles from the roadway, with a tow truck dispatched shortly after the incident. The blockage caused delays and backups for drivers heading northbound on State Route 85.
