Accident causes lane closure on Highway 87 in San Jose
An incident on a San Jose highway on Tuesday morning resulted in the tragic loss of an adult and a child. The collision, which involved multiple vehicles, took place around 11:09 a.m. on northbound Highway 87 near Curtner Avenue, as reported by the California Highway Patrol. Several vehicles caught fire during the accident, with three charred vehicles visible on the highway in video footage from the scene. One vehicle with three occupants saw the driver surviving and being transported to a nearby hospital for injuries, while the two passengers - an adult and a child - tragically lost their lives at the scene. The driver of another vehicle involved in the crash was also taken to a local hospital, with no immediate update provided on their condition. The exact cause of the crash remained unknown, with unconfirmed reports suggesting a 2-year-old may have been trapped in one of the vehicles and potentially among the deceased. Due to all northbound lanes being obstructed, the CHP issued a severe traffic alert, advising drivers to anticipate delays and seek alternate routes. An estimated timeline for the reopening of the highway was not yet available.
