A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) near Las Pulgas in Oceanside, CA. The incident took place around 11:32 PM and involved a grey Honda Accord and an unknown vehicle, both of which ended up approximately 30 feet off the roadway. The collision caused a partial blockage of four lanes, leading to traffic management operations that opened one lane for vehicles to pass through.

Emergency response teams arrived promptly at the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. Multiple units were dispatched to assist with the situation, including tow trucks that were called to recover the vehicles involved in the crash. As recovery efforts continued, flares were placed in the fourth lane to alert drivers of the ongoing situation.

Motorists in the area experienced delays and congestion as traffic was diverted around the incident.
