A minor injury traffic collision occurred today on State Route 78 West near Twin Oaks Valley in San Marcos, CA. The incident involved two vehicles: a black pickup truck and a red Kia sedan. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene at approximately 6:59 PM, following reports of a road rage incident that preceded the collision.
Initially classified as serious, the situation was later downgraded to minor injuries, with one individual transported to the hospital. The extent of injuries for others involved remains unknown. Debris from the collision was scattered across the lanes, prompting the need for a tow truck to clear the vehicles from the roadway.
Traffic was significantly impacted during the response, leading to the temporary closure of the Twin Oaks Valley off-ramp. The tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, and the off-ramp was reopened shortly after 8 PM.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through the area, as debris may still be present. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to adhere to safe driving practices to prevent similar incidents in the future.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant and aware of surroundings while driving, especially in high-traffic areas.
