A hit-and-run incident occurred early this morning on Interstate 5 South near Imperial Avenue in San Diego, CA. At approximately 1:50 AM, an unknown vehicle left the roadway and traveled up an embankment, prompting a response from emergency services.

By 3:11 AM, the scene was cleared, and the on-ramp was reopened to traffic. Authorities are monitoring the area for any additional reports, as there were mentions of other vehicles nearby.
