A traffic collision on Interstate 805 North in San Diego, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved a single vehicle, a blue Tesla, which collided with a concrete wall. This collision resulted in a complete stoppage of all lanes, creating a backup for motorists during the late evening hours.
Emergency services responded quickly, deploying multiple units to manage the scene and control traffic flow. By approximately 11:24 PM, all lanes were halted as responders worked to clear the vehicle, which was positioned sideways near a construction zone and partially obstructing the right lane.
The situation led to delays for drivers, as traffic remained stopped until emergency crews could safely remove the vehicle from the roadway. By around 12:23 AM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
In addition to the lane closures, there were reports of sand in the off-ramp lanes, which required attention from construction crews. Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions, particularly in construction zones where unexpected incidents can occur.
The swift response from emergency services helped minimize the overall impact of the traffic incident, allowing for a quicker return to normal traffic conditions.
