A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) at the intersection with State Route 76 in Oceanside, CA. The incident took place around 2:40 PM and involved a blue Hyundai Accent and a semi truck. While the Hyundai was driveable, the semi truck required towing due to its inability to be driven on city streets.
Traffic was significantly impacted as operations were concentrated on the right-hand side of the roadway, leading to delays for motorists in the area. Emergency response teams were dispatched to manage traffic and control the scene, ensuring the safety of all drivers.
Both vehicles remained on the right-hand side of the road, causing a backup that affected afternoon traffic on I-5 S and SR-76. A tow truck was called to remove the semi truck from the scene, contributing to extended traffic delays.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area while crews work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as they become available.
