A traffic incident occurred early today involving a single vehicle on the on-ramp of Interstate 5 South at Junipero Serra Road in San Juan Capistrano, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 12:39 AM when the driver, a male, experienced a blown left rear tire after hitting an unknown object on the roadway.
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident. However, the vehicle was left blocking the right lane of the on-ramp, prompting a swift response from emergency services. Traffic was impacted as the vehicle obstructed the lane, requiring evaluation for towing due to the significant tire damage.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after the incident was reported. They assessed the situation and determined that the vehicle would likely need to be towed. The right lane of the on-ramp remained blocked for a period while responders worked to manage the situation and ensure safety for all motorists.
By 12:55 AM, emergency personnel were coordinating with a tow truck service to remove the vehicle from the roadway. The tow truck was expected to arrive shortly, indicating that the situation was being resolved efficiently.
The final disposition of the vehicle has not been explicitly stated, but it is anticipated that it was towed away due to the tire damage. The prompt response from emergency services helped to minimize any further traffic disruption, allowing the situation to be resolved without any reported injuries.
