A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North near Tamarack So in Carlsbad, CA, involving four vehicles, including a red BMW X3. The incident was reported at approximately 5:12 PM and was characterized as a domino effect, where one vehicle's impact led to a series of collisions.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. The driver of the red BMW appeared dazed and was having difficulty moving to the right-hand side of the road. Fortunately, other involved vehicles had already been moved to the right-hand shoulder, helping to alleviate some congestion.
Due to the nature of the accident, there was no shoulder available for the vehicles to pull into, complicating the situation further. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles. By 5:33 PM, it was reported that a fire was blocking the high-occupancy vehicle lane and the number one lane.
As a result of the incident, traffic was impacted, and drivers in the area were advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes if possible. The extent of injuries for all parties involved remains unknown. Motorists are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions as cleanup efforts continue.
