A traffic incident occurred today on State Route 15 North at Adams Avenue in San Diego, California, involving one vehicle, an Amazon semi-truck. The truck collided with construction debris, leading to an oil spill on the roadway. The incident was reported around 2:58 AM and prompted immediate emergency response.
Due to the oil spill, multiple lanes were closed to ensure the safety of motorists and facilitate cleanup efforts. The California Highway Patrol issued a signal alert for approximately one hour, advising drivers to expect delays and to seek alternate routes. The right two lanes were blocked, causing traffic congestion in the area.
Emergency services quickly arrived, deploying a tow truck to assist with the removal of the semi-truck and manage the oil spill. Initially, a hazardous materials team was considered, but it was determined that the tow truck could handle the cleanup without additional assistance.
The status of any injuries remains unknown, and authorities continue to monitor the situation. The construction debris and oil spill posed a significant hazard to drivers, leading to the decision to close the affected lanes.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through the area and to stay updated on traffic conditions as cleanup efforts progress.
