SAN JOSE — A motorcyclist died early Monday after slamming into at least one other car that previously had been involved in a crash, the California Highway Patrol said.
The wreck on northbound Interstate 880 happened just south of The Alameda exit about 4:40 a.m.. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities did not identify the person immediately.
According to the CHP, a Honda Civic swerved to avoid something, ran into a barrier and overturned. The people in that vehicle got out of it after the wreck and were expected to be OK.
About three minutes after that crash, a motorcycle ran into that vehicle, the CHP said. The motorcyclist flew off and landed in a bush between the off-ramp and the freeway, according to the agency.
The crash blocked all lanes of I-880, the CHP issued a Sig Alert about 4:50 a.m. All the lanes were re-opened about 6:15 a.m.
