A minor injury traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on Interstate 805 South in San Diego, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident was reported at 7:03 PM, with initial reports indicating a bumper-to-bumper situation in the first lane, just south of Home Avenue.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched, and units were assigned to the scene by 7:11 PM. The collision blocked three lanes of traffic, causing further complications near the High Occupancy Vehicle lane. By 7:17 PM, the California Highway Patrol confirmed that the situation had been reclassified from a traffic hazard to a minor injury collision.
While the injuries sustained were reported as minor, the incident required a prompt response from emergency services to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Witnesses noted the involvement of a brown Lexus and an Audi, along with a third unidentified vehicle. A tow truck was called to assist in clearing the roadway, as the vehicles were obstructing traffic.
Traffic was heavily impacted in the area, with delays expected as crews worked to remove the vehicles and restore normal flow. The California Highway Patrol advised motorists to seek alternate routes to avoid the congested area while they managed the aftermath of the incident.
The final disposition of the vehicles involved has not been specified, but it is likely that they will be towed due to their position blocking multiple lanes. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the incident, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously and remain aware of their surroundings, especially in areas where accidents have occurred. The California Highway Patrol encourages anyone with information about the incident to come forward to assist in their ongoing investigation.
