A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred late last night on Interstate 15 South near Centre City in Escondido, CA. The incident, which took place around 11:38 PM today, involved a semi-truck that rolled over and a black sedan. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

The collision caused significant traffic disruptions, as the overturned semi-truck blocked multiple lanes of the highway. Emergency services responded quickly, and a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the semi-truck, which was not drivable. The status of the black sedan is not explicitly mentioned, but it is implied to be drivable.

As crews worked to clear the scene, traffic was limited to only the first lane, while the second, third, and fourth lanes remained closed for an extended period. Approximately 70 feet of cement powder spilled onto the roadway, requiring the response of a street sweeper to ensure the area was safe for drivers.

By early morning, the scene had been cleared, and traffic flow was restored. Motorists traveling through the area were advised to remain cautious as cleanup efforts were underway. The California Highway Patrol monitored the situation to ensure safety on the roads.
