A traffic collision on Interstate 15 South in San Diego, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving a single gray Porsche SUV, occurred around 2:30 PM when the vehicle swerved and collided with a movable wall, blocking the northbound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. This blockage led to delays and congestion for motorists traveling in the area.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol were promptly dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. As crews worked to clear the roadway, traffic control measures were implemented, including the activation of electronic signs to alert drivers about the obstruction.
By approximately 3:20 PM, the southbound side was cleared, and the HOV lanes were reopened, alleviating some of the backup for drivers. However, the northbound side remained under repair as crews continued to address the movable wall.
Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and aware of changing road conditions, especially during peak travel times. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternative routes when possible to avoid delays caused by this traffic incident.
