A solo vehicle collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 8 at the Interstate 805 interchange in San Diego, CA. The incident took place at approximately 9:01 AM when a silver Volvo collided with a concrete wall, resulting in the vehicle partially blocking the #1 lane.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the accident. Emergency services, including the Freeway Service Patrol, quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation and ensure the safety of other drivers. A tow truck was requested as the vehicle was determined to require towing.
The collision caused some traffic disruption, with the #1 lane remaining blocked until the tow truck arrived. Traffic was observed to be slow-moving in the area as drivers navigated around the obstruction. The situation was resolved by 9:26 AM when the tow truck successfully removed the vehicle, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Witnesses noted that the silver Volvo was partially over the fog line, which may have contributed to the lane blockage. There was also an unconfirmed vehicle off to the right side of the road, but it did not appear to be related to the collision.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 8 and Interstate 805 during the incident were advised to exercise caution and be prepared for potential delays. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to remain vigilant and report any accidents or hazards on the road to ensure the safety of all travelers.
