A solo vehicle overturned early this morning after coming off the on-ramp of Interstate 15 South at Friars Road in San Diego, CA. The incident occurred today at approximately 5:24 AM, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the vehicle lost control and rolled down an embankment, ultimately landing on its roof. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and all occupants were safely outside the vehicle when emergency responders arrived on the scene. Multiple units from both the California Highway Patrol and the San Diego Police Department were dispatched to manage the situation effectively.
Emergency services received the initial notification at 5:24 AM, with units arriving shortly thereafter to assess the scene. By 5:37 AM, it was confirmed that the vehicle was down the embankment, and there were no individuals trapped inside. The quick response of emergency personnel ensured that the situation was handled without further complications.
A tow truck was called to assist with the recovery of the overturned vehicle. The tow truck was expected to access the site from inside the stadium area, navigating along the frontage road near a large water tank. This careful planning was necessary due to the vehicle's precarious position down the embankment.
Traffic in the area was minimally impacted, as the incident occurred early in the morning when road usage was lower. However, drivers were advised to remain cautious and be aware of emergency personnel on-site.
The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. Authorities urge all drivers to exercise caution, especially when navigating on-ramps and off-ramps, to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
