SAN JOSE – A person was killed in a crash Tuesday night on Highway 101 in San Jose, according to authorities.

The solo-vehicle collision happened around 8:30 p.m. in northbound lanes of the freeway at Trimble Road, said California Highway Patrol Officer Ross Lee.

The car, a BMW sedan, ended up on its roof about 100 feet off the roadway.

The Highway 101 ramps to and from Trimble Road, as well as the Highway 87 ramp to Trimble Road, were closed for the investigation, the CHP said in a social media post. All except the on-ramp to 101 were reopened by 11:30 p.m.

Authorities did not release the person’s name pending confirmation of their identity and notification of their next of kin.
