A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the I-8 West at the I-805 East interchange in San Diego, CA. The incident took place around 7:35 AM and involved a black Honda Civic and a smaller black vehicle.

The driver of the Honda Civic reported hitting their head on the steering wheel but declined medical assistance. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from the other vehicle involved in the accident. However, the smaller black sedan was left blocking the third lane of the highway, creating a hazard for other drivers.

Emergency services responded quickly, dispatching multiple units to the scene to manage the situation. By 7:39 AM, a gray Porsche Cayenne was noted in the area, but it was not involved in the collision. As responders worked to clear the scene, they determined that both vehicles would require towing due to their inability to be driven.

Traffic was affected as the black sedan obstructed the third lane, leading to potential delays for motorists in the area. By 8:27 AM, the incident was cleared, and the roadway was reopened to traffic. All vehicles involved were towed from the scene, allowing for the resumption of normal traffic flow.

The California Highway Patrol reminds drivers to stay alert and cautious while navigating busy interchanges, especially during peak hours. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the need to report any accidents promptly to ensure the safety of all road users.
