A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred this morning on Interstate 5 North near the Coaster Station in Oceanside, California. The incident took place at approximately 7:13 AM, resulting in an overturned white passenger van that blocked multiple lanes of traffic.
Emergency services were notified shortly after the collision and arrived at the scene by 7:26 AM to manage the situation. The vehicles involved included a white passenger van and a tan pickup truck. The white van was overturned, lying on its side, while the tan pickup truck was positioned on the right-hand side of the roadway. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, although the nature of the incident suggested the potential for harm.
As emergency units worked to clear the scene, they found that the overturned van was obstructing the third and fourth lanes of traffic, leading to significant traffic disruption. Tow services were requested to remove both vehicles from the roadway, as they were not drivable. A tow truck was dispatched to the location, and a second tow truck was also called in to assist with the removal process.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 5 North should expect delays in the area as cleanup efforts continue. The presence of emergency services and tow trucks may lead to temporary lane closures, so drivers are advised to seek alternative routes if possible.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating the incident and encourages anyone with information to come forward. Updates will be provided to ensure the public is informed about any changes in traffic conditions.
