A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 280 (I-280) at the Meridian Avenue on-ramp in San Jose, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a silver Chevrolet pickup truck that struck a light pole, a gray pickup truck that stopped in the off-ramp lane, and a GMC pickup truck that sustained tire damage.
The crash has resulted in significant traffic disruptions, blocking all lanes on the on-ramp and causing the southbound segment from Meridian Avenue to southbound Interstate 280 to close. This has led to considerable delays and congestion for morning commuters.
Emergency services responded promptly, deploying multiple units to manage traffic flow and secure the scene. A tow truck has been requested to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. Additionally, the Department of Transportation has been notified to address the downed light pole, which is obstructing the entire on-ramp.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and backups in the area. The situation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
