A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) in Oceanside, CA, involving six vehicles: a black Tesla, a white Mazda, two gold mini vans, a white sedan, and a black Jeep. The incident was reported around 1:06 PM, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.

Traffic conditions were significantly impacted as emergency responders worked to manage the scene. At least one of the gold mini vans required towing, which led to lane closures and congestion along I-5 N, particularly near the Harbor area. The presence of multiple vehicles on the roadway created delays for drivers during the busy afternoon commute.

Authorities deployed several units to control traffic and facilitate the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. As the situation unfolded, motorists experienced backups and slower traffic flow in the vicinity.

Emergency crews focused on clearing the roadway to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible. Drivers are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this area and to anticipate potential delays as cleanup efforts continue.

For those planning to travel on Interstate 5 in Oceanside, it is recommended to seek alternative routes to avoid the affected area and minimize travel time.
