A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a grail and a big rig, occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 8 (I-8) in La Mesa, CA. The incident was reported around 3:20 AM, prompting an immediate response from multiple California Highway Patrol (CHP) and traffic management units to control the situation.

As a result of the collision, the ramp from westbound I-8 to southbound State Route 125 (SR-125) was temporarily closed, leading to potential delays for morning commuters. Traffic management teams quickly implemented alternate routing to minimize congestion while the scene was being cleared. A tow truck was dispatched to remove one of the vehicles involved in the crash.

By approximately 4:46 AM, the tow truck successfully removed the vehicle, allowing the reopening of the affected ramp. The temporary closure was lifted shortly thereafter, restoring normal traffic flow.

Drivers in the area were advised to remain cautious and expect possible residual delays as traffic resumed. The CHP continued to monitor the situation to ensure safe travel for all motorists.

This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving and the effectiveness of emergency response in maintaining roadway safety during unexpected events.
