According to Santa Clara police, they received the first report of a pedestrian crash. The report said that it happened on San Tomas Expressway and Monroe Street.
Then, responders on the scene realized that no pedestrian was involved in the crash. They clarified that the collision involved two cars.

The incident is described as minor and no serious injuries were reported.
Authorities closed the northbound San Thomas Expressway from 8:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. to give way to the investigation.
Due to the high chance of injury or death in an accident, extreme caution should be taken whenever you drive. Also, drive cautiously and always expect the unexpected.
What’s Next after a Crash
As common of an occurrence as they are, many people do not suspect what follows in the event of a crash.
When driving, scan the road 1/2 mile to a full mile ahead to check whether there’s a possible hazard. Our bodies weren’t designed to travel at 50mph. Also, we were designed for speeds of less than 10mph. Thus, you need to learn to consciously break that instinct and focus farther ahead
