Car Accidents in San Jose
Evening collisions—such as Tuesday’s incident on Capitol Expressway near Hwy 87—often occur when traffic congestion, reduced visibility, and fatigue intersect. San Jose’s expressways are critical routes for both local and regional travel, but intersections near major highways like 87 are especially prone to crashes due to merging traffic and high-speed transitions.
Two-vehicle crashes are among the most frequently reported incidents on urban roadways and can lead to a wide range of injuries, from minor to severe. Even when injuries appear to be manageable at first, the long-term impact on a person’s health, finances, and emotional well-being can be substantial. Immediate medical attention, documentation, and awareness of legal rights are all essential steps for anyone involved in a serious collision.
