A deadly crash in San Jose Monday blocked all lanes on northbound Highway 85, the California Highway Patrol said.

CHP officer Ross Lee said a pick-up truck traveling the wrong direction on Highway 85 crashed into a Tesla, around 4 p.m., near the Saratoga offramp. The driver of the pick-up truck had reportedly been driving into oncoming traffic for several miles, the CHP said.

According to the CHP, two people in the Tesla died, and the driver of the pick-up truck was taken to the hospital with major injuries.

There was no estimated time of reopening. Drivers could take Highway 101 to avoid the shutdown.
