A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 8 West at the intersection with State Route 163, near Hotel Circle in San Diego, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a truck, a Jeep, and a four-door sedan, with a black van also noted at the scene. The collision was reported around 6:32 PM.
As a result of the traffic incident, all lanes on the highway were temporarily closed to facilitate the towing of one vehicle involved. Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the situation and implemented traffic control measures to direct vehicles safely around the area.
By 6:55 PM, traffic was completely halted in all lanes to allow the tow truck to hook up the disabled vehicle. This caused significant delays and backups for drivers during the busy evening commute. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion.
The California Highway Patrol was on the scene to oversee the incident and ensure safety for all road users. Drivers are encouraged to remain cautious and stay informed about traffic conditions as cleanup efforts continue.
