A traffic collision on State Route 85 South in San Jose, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved a single vehicle, an older white car, which spun out and went off the roadway, landing approximately 15 feet off the road.
Emergency response teams, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP), arrived at the scene shortly after the incident was reported at 10:23 AM.
