A traffic collision on Interstate 15 South in San Diego, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident, involving two vehicles—a red Tesla and another vehicle—occurred around 7:17 AM near Miramar Road. The collision resulted in impacts against the wall, blocking multiple lanes, including the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane and the main lanes.
Emergency response teams, including multiple units from the California Highway Patrol, quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety.
