The crash was reported at about 8:45 p.m. on southbound 101 north of Capitol Expressway in South San Jose. The California Highway Patrol said in a press release on Tuesday that a 2001 Yamaha Roadster motorcycle began to fishtail for an unknown reason and overturned, with the motorcycle and rider coming to rest in the number 2 lane.
The motorcycle and rider were then struck by a 2018 Kia that was traveling behind the motorcycle in the number 2 lane, the CHP said. The impact of that collision caused the Kia to overturn, while the downed Yamaha was propelled into a 2023 Tesla, which had stopped at the scene, according to the CHP.
