A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) near the Aliso Creek Rest Area in Oceanside, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions this morning. The incident occurred at approximately 7:48 AM and involved a single vehicle, which blocked two left lanes of the highway. As a result, lane four remained obstructed while emergency services worked to manage the scene and redirect traffic.
Emergency response units arrived quickly to control the situation and assist with traffic management. A tow truck was called to the scene to help clear the vehicle, which was confirmed to be the only vehicle involved in the collision. The blockage led to delays and congestion for morning commuters navigating the area.
By 8:40 AM, responders had successfully moved most traffic to the right, but lane four continued to be blocked, contributing to ongoing backups. Motorists traveling on I-5 S should anticipate delays and consider alternative routes if possible. The situation is being monitored by local authorities, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and aware of changing road conditions as emergency services work to resolve the traffic incident.
