Ray Minter says the Jackson Street off-ramp on the 680 South freeway was built in 1972 and since then, drivers have repeatedly miscalculated how fast they were going when exiting the off-ramp. The cars wound up crashing into his property as they tried to turn right onto Jackson Street.
says his home has been hit by speeding cars over 20 times as they exit the 680 freeway. Now the city of San Jose says it’s hoping to get more funding to improve road safety in that area.
Ray Minter says he’s grateful that no one in his family has been seriously hurt or killed by the cars that have crashed into his family home over the last 50 years. "A few of them have been hurt pretty badly but most of them have been drunk. Like the guy in 2016. He was driving a 2016 GMC High Sierra. My car was right there where the rocks are, and he hit that at 105 miles per hour," Minter said
