A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) in San Diego, CA, has led to significant traffic disruptions this morning. The incident occurred around 6:02 AM, involving two vehicles: a black BMW sedan and a private tow truck. The BMW collided with the center divider and was later moved to the roadside for safety.
As a result of the traffic incident, lane closures were implemented on the northbound transition to eastbound State Route 52 (SR-52), causing potential delays for morning commuters. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was on-site to manage the scene and direct traffic, ensuring safe passage for vehicles around the affected area.
By 6:38 AM, the CHP had established a plan for traffic flow, allowing vehicles to pass on the right while the tow truck worked to secure the BMW. The situation was under control, but drivers were advised to expect backups and congestion as the response continued.
Motorists traveling through this area should remain vigilant and be prepared for possible delays as the scene is cleared. The CHP continues to monitor the situation closely to facilitate a smooth return to normal traffic conditions.
