[03-24-2025] – Overturned Box Truck Crash on McKean Rd Shuts Down Lanes and Causes Major Delays in San Jose, CA

San Jose, CA – A serious traffic accident occurred today on McKean Road in San Jose, California, involving a yellow 26-foot box truck that overturned and a smaller white truck. The incident was reported at approximately 2:15 PM, resulting in major traffic disruptions and a partial closure of the roadway.

The crash caused both southbound lanes and part of the northbound lanes to become blocked, forcing emergency crews to shut down McKean Road at Bailey to manage the scene and ensure public safety. The box truck, which overturned, began leaking fuel into a nearby drain, prompting an environmental safety response in addition to standard crash protocols.

California Highway Patrol (CHP) and local fire department units responded swiftly, coordinating traffic management and calling in tow services to remove the overturned truck. Drivers in the area are urged to avoid McKean Road entirely and use alternate routes, as significant delays are expected through the afternoon.

Crashes involving large commercial trucks can lead to complex liability issues, environmental concerns, and extensive property damage. If you’ve been impacted—whether by direct involvement or resulting damages—it’s critical to understand your rights.
