San Jose, CA (July 20, 2025) – A multi-vehicle collision occurred on Sunday afternoon on the transition ramp from southbound State Route 87 to southbound State Route 85 in San Jose, resulting in injuries. The crash was reported at approximately 5:31 p.m. and involved four vehicles: a Toyota Tundra, a Jeep SUV, a white Honda Civic, and a gray Cadillac SRX.
Emergency crews responded to the scene and provided treatment to the injured individuals. One person in the Honda Civic sustained hand injuries and was treated at the scene, while additional minor injuries were reported, though none were life-threatening.
The collision caused significant lane blockages, leading to traffic delays. Firefighters and paramedics assisted at the scene, and vehicles were cleared from the ramp once the area was secured. Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash, but details have not been fully released at this time.
We wish all the injured individuals a speedy recovery.
Commercial Truck Collisions in California
Crashes involving 18-wheelers, big rigs, and freight trucks are common on major routes like I-5, I-80, and corridors through the San Joaquin Valley. Due to their massive size, commercial trucks often cause severe injuries in a collision, including spinal trauma, brain injuries, or permanent disability. These crashes are often complex. Large trucks are subject to strict safety regulations that encompass maintenance, driver schedules, and cargo handling. When those rules are disregarded, the likelihood of a crash increases significantly. Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and cargo contractors. Identifying fault requires quick access to driver logs, black box data, and inspection records. That’s why getting legal support from an experienced California truck accident lawyer is critical.
