A serious traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred early this morning on Interstate 805 North near El Cajon South in San Diego, CA. The incident took place around 2:37 AM and involved a white Toyota Camry, a semi-truck, and a third unidentified vehicle. The collision was significant enough to deploy the airbags in the Toyota, indicating a serious impact.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, arriving shortly after the incident was reported. The deployment of airbags in the Toyota suggests that there may have been injuries requiring medical attention, although the extent and nature of these injuries have not yet been detailed in the report. The white Toyota Camry was likely rendered undriveable due to the airbags deploying, while the conditions of the semi-truck and the third vehicle remain unspecified.
As emergency units managed the situation, they blocked the middle two lanes of the highway, causing potential traffic disruptions. Flashers were activated on the Toyota Camry as responders worked to assess the situation. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision.
By 2:53 AM, all emergency units were cleared from the scene, allowing traffic to resume. However, motorists traveling on Interstate 805 North during the incident may have experienced delays due to lane closures and the presence of emergency services.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision, including the cause and any contributing factors. The San Diego community is reminded to drive cautiously, especially in areas with heavy traffic and potential hazards.
