A single-vehicle incident occurred today on State Route 78 East near South El Camino Real in Oceanside, CA. At approximately 7:42 AM, witnesses reported a Toyota Camry that had gone off the roadway and through a fence, with smoke visible from the vehicle. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the driver was unharmed but appeared to be in a state of panic.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. Upon arrival, they determined that the smoke was caused by dust rather than any fire hazard. A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicle from the area. To ensure safety during the towing process, the East Coast Highway on-ramp was temporarily closed, and additional lanes were shut down.
By 8:28 AM, the situation was under control, and preparations were made for the vehicle to be towed. The quick actions of emergency responders helped resolve the incident without further complications, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow shortly after.
Motorists in the area were advised to remain cautious due to the temporary lane closures while the situation was managed. The California Highway Patrol monitored the area to ensure safety for all drivers.
