A single-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on Interstate 15 South near State Route 56 in San Diego, CA, resulting in a passenger requiring medical attention. The incident was reported at approximately 4:51 AM, prompting a rapid response from emergency services.
According to reports, a gray sedan collided with a wall, leading to the vehicle being confirmed off the roadway by 5:06 AM.

By 5:10 AM, the vehicle was identified as completely off the roadway, and all lanes remained open for traffic flow.

As the situation developed, reports emerged around 6:58 AM of damaged sprinklers in the area, causing water to accumulate on the roadway. This added another layer of complexity to the incident, as crews worked to manage both the collision scene and the water hazard.
The last unit cleared the scene at 7:34 AM, marking the conclusion of emergency operations. Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved in this incident, and there were no reported injuries to other motorists.
Motorists in the vicinity were advised to exercise caution due to the potential for slippery conditions caused by the water on the roadway. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the area for any further issues related to the incident.
This collision serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. The California Highway Patrol urges all drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent accidents.
