A traffic collision on northbound Interstate 680 (I-680) near Scott Creek Road in Milpitas, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 6:03 PM and involved two vehicles: a green Lexus and a blue Toyota Corona. The collision resulted in the left lane being blocked, leading to delays and congestion for motorists in the area.
Emergency response teams from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly arrived on the scene to manage the situation.
