A single-vehicle collision occurred today on Interstate 5 South near Gilman Drive in San Diego, CA, at approximately 10:14 AM. The incident involved a white sedan that struck a concrete divider, resulting in damage to the front end of the vehicle. Fortunately, the driver reported no injuries from the accident.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene, arriving by 10:22 AM to manage the situation and ensure the safety of other motorists. The white sedan was blocking the second lane of traffic, creating a potential hazard for other vehicles on the busy interstate. To mitigate the impact on traffic flow, a tow truck was requested to remove the disabled vehicle.
The driver indicated that they did not see the concrete divider before the collision. Despite the vehicle being rendered undriveable, the driver remained unharmed and was present at the scene until assistance arrived.
As emergency responders worked to clear the roadway, traffic was temporarily affected, with vehicles needing to navigate around the incident. Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved in the collision, which helped minimize the extent of the traffic disruption.
The tow service arrived shortly after emergency personnel, and the white sedan was successfully removed from the scene. By 10:30 AM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant on the roadways, especially in areas where concrete dividers are present. The California Highway Patrol encourages all motorists to drive attentively and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
