A traffic collision on Interstate 8 East near the State Route 125 North connector in La Mesa, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions this afternoon. At approximately 3:01 PM, a black Jeep Wrangler collided with the guardrail and became immobilized on the bridge, blocking both lanes of traffic. Emergency services promptly responded to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety.

As a result of the incident, both lanes were closed, leading to considerable congestion and delays for drivers in the area. The Jeep Wrangler sustained mechanical damage, specifically a broken axle, making it undriveable. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicle, but the blockage continued to impact traffic.

Authorities were on-site to monitor the situation and direct vehicles safely around the area. They also checked the ramp to ensure it remained clear for other motorists. The incident created a backup for drivers traveling westbound on Interstate 8 toward northbound State Route 125.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays caused by this traffic incident. As emergency services continue to work at the scene, updates will be provided regarding the reopening of the affected lanes.
