A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 880 South at the North 1st Street on-ramp in San Jose, CA, involving three vehicles: a red semi truck, a blue heavy-duty rig, and a black Tesla. The incident was reported at approximately 2:11 PM and resulted in significant traffic disruptions.
The blue heavy-duty rig, which was towing two trailers, sustained front tire damage and began leaking fluid, leading to the need for a tow truck to assist in clearing the scene. As a result, several lanes were blocked, causing delays and congestion for motorists in the area.
Emergency response units quickly arrived to manage the situation and facilitate the removal of the vehicles involved. The blockage of multiple lanes contributed to a noticeable backup, particularly during the busy afternoon traffic period.
By approximately 2:30 PM, the emergency response team had cleared the scene, but residual delays may continue as traffic returns to normal flow. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and consider alternative routes if traveling through this area.
