A tanker crash in San Jose, caused by flooding, spilled fuel, closed highways, and injured the driver.
A gasoline tanker truck overturned on southbound Highway 101 near Hellyer Road in San Jose around 5:30 a.m. Thursday, triggering a hazardous materials response after leaking fuel into flooded roadways.
The crash, linked to weather-related flooding, involved a collision with a pickup truck; the pickup driver was unharmed, while the tanker driver sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized.
All southbound lanes were closed, causing major traffic disruptions, with additional road closures on Highway 87 and 85 due to flooding.
Caltrans expects the highway to reopen by 4 p.m., urging drivers to stay alert, avoid flooded areas, and check real-time conditions via roads.dot.ca.gov or 1 (800) 427-7623.
The incident occurred amid winter storm conditions that also disrupted air travel and caused widespread power outages across the Bay Area.
