A hit-and-run incident involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on State Route 78 West near Mar Vista in Vista, CA. The collision took place at approximately 2:31 AM and involved a red semi-truck with an empty tanker trailer and an unidentified color pickup truck. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from this incident.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to manage the situation. The pickup truck was found to be inoperable and was blocking traffic, prompting the need for a tow truck to remove it from the roadway. By 3:09 AM, the tow truck was on-site, and the pickup truck was being taken away from the area.
The red semi-truck remained on the right-hand side of the road during the incident and was likely drivable. However, the pickup truck's position caused significant disruption, particularly in the number one lane, which was blocked for some time until the vehicle was cleared.
Motorists traveling on State Route 78 West should be aware of potential delays as emergency services worked to clear the scene. Responders acted quickly to restore normal traffic flow on the highway, ensuring safety for all drivers.
Drivers are reminded to remain vigilant on the roads and report any incidents to the authorities to help maintain safety for everyone.
