A traffic collision on State Route 85 North in San Jose, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 2:48 PM when a small Dodge pickup truck collided with a roadside barrier. This crash resulted in lane obstructions, leading to delays for motorists in the area.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. Several units were deployed to control the situation and clear the roadway. The collision caused backups along State Route 85 North, particularly near the Blossom Hill Road East on-ramp, impacting the afternoon commute for many drivers.

A tow truck was called to remove the damaged vehicle from the roadway. Emergency crews coordinated effectively to minimize traffic impact, but lane closures were necessary for safety and cleanup efforts. As a result, motorists experienced delays as they navigated through the affected area.
