A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on Interstate 805 South near Plaza Boulevard in National City, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute at approximately 7:32 AM. The vehicles involved included a white compact car in the high-occupancy vehicle lane, a maroon Dodge Charger, and a black Tesla.
The collision initially blocked the high-occupancy vehicle lane, leading to significant traffic congestion and delays for motorists traveling through the area. Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol quickly arrived to manage the scene and direct traffic.
By 7:45 AM, the California Highway Patrol confirmed that lanes were reopened, allowing for improved traffic flow. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the non-drivable Dodge Charger and black Tesla, which were both rendered inoperable due to the collision. The white compact car was also involved but did not require towing.
As the situation was brought under control, the California Highway Patrol worked diligently to restore normal traffic conditions, alleviating the backup that had formed as a result of the incident. Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as some residual delays may persist while the scene is fully cleared.
