A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 South near Old Town in San Diego, CA. The incident took place shortly before midnight and involved a white Honda Civic and a white box vehicle. Both vehicles obstructed multiple lanes, including the fog and slow lanes, leading to significant traffic impacts.

Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the situation and ensure safety on the highway. The vehicles were positioned diagonally across the second and third lanes, creating a hazardous environment for motorists. The response team focused on controlling the scene and directing traffic to minimize congestion.

As a result of the collision, drivers experienced delays and backups in the area. The partial lane closures contributed to increased congestion during the late-night hours, affecting the flow of traffic on this busy highway.

A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the traffic incident. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and consider alternative routes to avoid delays until the situation is fully resolved.
