A motorcycle collided with two vehicles this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 805, near the southbound Interstate 8 interchange in San Diego, CA. The incident occurred at approximately 7:56 AM and was later classified as a hit-and-run when a third vehicle, identified as a white truck, fled the scene shortly after the collision.
Emergency services, including California Highway Patrol units, responded promptly to the scene. By 8:00 AM, the motorcycle rider was reported to be standing but appeared shaken and later lay down on the ground. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, although the rider was visibly affected by the incident.
The vehicles involved included a silver Chevrolet Aveo, which sustained damage and was rendered undriveable due to a flat tire. The driver of the Chevrolet Aveo began making their own towing arrangements shortly after the crash. Meanwhile, the motorcycle remained in the lanes, causing some traffic disruption.
