A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the interchange of Interstate 15 South (I-15 S) and Interstate 8 East (I-8 E) in San Diego, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 6:23 AM, significantly impacting the morning commute for drivers in the area. One of the vehicles involved was identified as a blue box truck with a Red Bull logo.
As emergency services arrived, they implemented traffic management measures to control the situation. The first lane of the transition ramp was blocked, leading to lane closures and route shutdowns to ensure safety and facilitate scene control.
