San Jose, CA – On the evening of Wednesday, October 8, 2025, three people suffered major injuries in a two-car crash, according to KRON.

The San Jose Police Department reports that the collision occurred around 5:35 PM near Rancho Drive and Monterey Road. Emergency crews responded quickly and transported all three victims to local hospitals.

Police urged drivers to avoid the area and use alternate routes while the investigation continues.

 

Personal Injury Claims

After a traffic accident, victims and their families often deal with unexpected financial burdens, such as medical bills, lost income, and, in the worst cases, burial costs. A Personal Injury Claim allows accident victims to hold the at-fault party financially responsible for their cost of care.
