A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 805 South near the El Cajon Boulevard off-ramp in San Diego, California. The incident took place around 7:34 PM and involved a black pickup truck towing a trailer and a black Nissan Rogue. Both vehicles ended up blocking the right lane of the highway, leading to traffic disruptions.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. The Nissan Rogue was confirmed to be non-drivable, while the status of the pickup truck was not explicitly stated but was implied to be inoperable as well. Debris from the collision was reported in the lanes, complicating the situation further.
To manage the incident, authorities closed the right lane and the off-ramp, allowing emergency responders to work safely. Tow services were requested for both vehicles involved in the crash. The Nissan Rogue was being handled through insurance for its removal from the scene.
By 8:34 PM, both lanes of Interstate 805 South were reopened to traffic, allowing vehicles to resume their normal flow. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries associated with the incident, which is a relief given the potential severity of such collisions.
Motorists traveling in the area were advised to exercise caution due to the initial lane closures and debris on the roadway. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially in heavy traffic conditions.
As the investigation continues, authorities will assess the full circumstances surrounding the collision. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and report any hazardous conditions they may encounter on the road.
