A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 South near the Interstate 5 South and State Route 94 East connector in San Diego, CA. The incident took place around 5:32 PM and involved a green/gray Nissan Pathfinder, identified as a county vehicle, and an unknown vehicle.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where it was determined that the Nissan Pathfinder was not drivable due to airbag deployment. A tow truck was called to remove the Pathfinder, while the driver of the other vehicle declined a tow.

The left lane was blocked following the collision, causing significant traffic delays in the area. There were no shoulders available for vehicles to maneuver around the incident, leading to heavy traffic conditions.

By approximately 6:07 PM, responders assisted the driver of the other vehicle by providing a jump start, allowing them to continue on their way. The status of any injuries remains unknown at this time.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this area, as delays may persist while the situation is resolved.
