A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on Interstate 8 East at the Interstate 805 interchange in San Diego, CA, involving three vehicles. The incident took place around 5:20 PM, blocking the first two lanes of traffic.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched and arrived on the scene by 5:36 PM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among those involved in the collision. The California Highway Patrol later reclassified the incident to "No Injuries" at 6:23 PM, confirming that all parties were unharmed.
As emergency units assessed the situation, they managed traffic control and initiated cleanup efforts due to glass debris scattered across the roadway.

The swift actions of emergency services helped minimize traffic disruptions and ensured the safety of motorists traveling through the area.
The final disposition of the vehicles involved has not been specified, but the absence of reported injuries suggests that the vehicles may have been drivable or towed as needed. This incident underscores the importance of prompt responses from emergency services in managing traffic incidents and safeguarding public safety.
