A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 5, near the southbound entrance to Interstate 8 in San Diego, California. The incident took place at approximately 9:54 AM and involved a silver Chevrolet Malibu and a white Subaru Crosstrek.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the Chevrolet Malibu collided with the right-hand side wall, causing it to spin out and come to a stop facing the wrong way. The Subaru Crosstrek was sideswiped by another vehicle during the incident. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries to any of the individuals involved.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, and a tow truck was called to remove both vehicles. The area was cleared by 10:27 AM, which helped minimize the impact on traffic flow. Initially, an ambulance was dispatched as a precaution due to the nature of the collision; however, it was later confirmed that no injuries had occurred.
Witnesses reported that the Subaru Crosstrek was struck while it was stationary on the right-hand side of the road as the Chevrolet Malibu spun out after its collision. The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the involvement of a third vehicle that may have contributed to the sideswipe of the Subaru.
Drivers in the area were advised to remain cautious as emergency crews worked to clear the scene. The California Highway Patrol encourages motorists to stay alert and drive safely, especially in high-traffic areas where accidents can occur unexpectedly.
As the investigation continues, further details will be provided as they become available. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes if possible to avoid potential delays in the area.
