The collision resulted in lane restrictions due to damage to approximately 100 feet of guardrail, which may lead to traffic delays for drivers in the area. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) promptly responded to the scene to manage traffic control and ensure safety for all motorists. A tow truck was called to remove the vehicle, and the scene was cleared shortly after 3:00 AM.
Motorists traveling through this section of I-15 should anticipate potential congestion as cleanup efforts were underway. The damage to the guardrail may also contribute to ongoing traffic impacts.
