[04-28-2020] San Jose, CA – One Woman Hurt After a Two-Vehicle Collision on 680 Freeway

An unidentified woman sustained minor injuries after a two-vehicle traffic collision in San Jose on Tuesday morning, April 28th.

According to the initial reports from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the accident occurred at around 12:16 a.m. on 680 Freeway near Jackson Avenue.

A silver Lexus sedan and another unspecified vehicle were involved in the accident. The two cars collided head-on in the southbound lanes of the Interstate.

The cause and the manner of how the accident happened are still currently unknown. A woman riding in one of the cars sustained minor injuries from the crash.

Head-on Collision Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Patrol is currently attempting to determine the cause of the accident through the official investigation.

According to the statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in California in 2017. Although head-on collisions only represent 2 percent of accidents, they account for 10 percent of fatalities on U.S. roadways.

These types of accidents are caused by a variety of reasons, such as distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver over-fatigue.

When encountering cases like this, it’s imperative to have an experienced San Jose personal injury attorney to conduct an independent investigation immediately to preserve the evidence better.

They can utilize their resources to re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain phone and texting records of the responsible party.
