A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred late last night on Interstate 805 South near Plaza Boulevard in National City, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 9:40 PM, with both vehicles blocking the fast lane, temporarily disrupting traffic flow.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. By 9:41 PM, the occupants of both vehicles were reported to be out and safe. Although precautionary medical assistance was requested, it was later determined that no injuries had occurred, and the need for medical intervention was canceled shortly thereafter.
As the situation developed, reports of near misses from other vehicles navigating around the collision began to emerge. By 9:45 PM, it was evident that the two vehicles were still obstructing traffic, including the high-occupancy vehicle lane. Additional calls to emergency services indicated that several drivers were experiencing difficulties due to the blockage.
A tow truck was initially requested to assist in moving the vehicles off the roadway. However, by 9:53 PM, the tow request was canceled as it became clear that no towing was necessary. The vehicles remained in place, and the situation was resolved without further incident.
The swift response from the California Highway Patrol ensured that traffic flow was restored as quickly as possible. Although the collision caused a temporary disruption, the absence of injuries and the prompt actions taken by emergency services minimized the impact on the surrounding area.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution when driving near accidents and to remain alert for emergency vehicles on the road. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor traffic conditions and respond to incidents to ensure the safety of all drivers.
