A traffic collision on Interstate 805 North in Chula Vista, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 10:39 PM, involved two vehicles: an unknown vehicle that caught fire and a gray and white semi tanker that became stuck in the center divider.
As emergency services, primarily California Highway Patrol units, responded to the scene, traffic control measures were activated on northbound Interstate 805 and Bonita Road. Lane closures were implemented to manage the situation, resulting in delays and congestion for motorists in the area.
