A motorcyclist was killed late Friday night in a multi-vehicle crash on northbound Interstate 680 near the McKee Road off-ramp in San Jose, California. The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene around 10:58 p.m. on August 28, 2026, after a motorcycle collided with a sedan and at least one other vehicle. The impact forced the closure of all northbound lanes of I-680 for nearly three hours while crews investigated and cleared the roadway. As of the latest reports, authorities had not released the identity of the motorcyclist who died.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the local riding group Bay Area Midnight Riders said two of its members were killed that night, including a rider on a purple Honda motorcycle in a reportedly separate crash; CHP had not confirmed those additional details as of the report. The outlet noted the group announced it was suspending its public midnight meetups following the crashes. A CHP incident log reviewed separately confirms a coroner was called to the McKee Road off-ramp scene and that a SigAlert closed all northbound I-680 lanes from 11:19 p.m. until about 2:18 a.m. The cause of the McKee Road off-ramp collision remains under investigation.
