According to a report from the San Jose Highway Patrol, a single-vehicle crash was initially reported in the center divider between Lawrence Expressway and north of Fair Oaks Boulevard.
This crash triggered a chain reaction, causing several following vehicles to collide continuously and resulting in a multiple-car collision on the highway.
Three victims lost their lives, identified as occupants of the second and third vehicles involved in the collision. A total of seven vehicles were involved in the incident.
