A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North near Via De La Valle in Del Mar, CA, involving four vehicles: a motorcycle, a Porsche Cayenne, a white Toyota Highlander, and a silver SUV. The incident was reported around 3:59 PM and has caused notable disruptions to traffic flow in the area.
Emergency units were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and oversee the retrieval of the vehicles. The white Toyota Highlander was determined to be not drivable and required towing, which contributed to traffic congestion. As a result, the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane was affected, leading to lane closures and requests for shoulder use to facilitate the movement of tow trucks.
Motorists in the vicinity experienced delays and backups as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. The motorcycle reportedly flipped during the collision, impacting the other vehicles involved. Traffic management efforts were implemented to restore normal conditions as quickly as possible.
Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes and remain cautious as traffic conditions may continue to be affected for some time. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely as they work to ensure safety and efficiency on Interstate 5.
