A traffic collision on Interstate 15 South in Escondido, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved one vehicle, a white Tesla, which struck rocks on the roadway. This collision led to the closure of the far right lane, creating hazardous conditions for drivers.
Reports indicated that heavy flooding in the far right lane contributed to the dangerous situation, with multiple vehicles nearly losing control due to the water accumulation. Emergency traffic management units quickly responded to the scene to coordinate traffic control and manage the incident effectively.
The collision occurred around 8:28 AM, and by 9:13 AM, authorities confirmed that the far right lane remained closed due to flooding, which further complicated traffic flow. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the removal of the Tesla, ensuring that the roadway could be cleared as soon as possible.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while traveling through the area and to anticipate delays and potential backups as crews work to restore normal traffic conditions. The situation is being monitored closely, and updates will be provided as they become available.
