A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North in San Diego, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident involved one vehicle, a black Nissan sedan, which experienced a tire blowout in a construction zone. As the vehicle was partially blocking the fast lane, emergency response units were dispatched to manage the situation and ensure safety.
Traffic restrictions were implemented as multiple units worked to clear the scene, leading to delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area. The narrow construction zone complicated the response efforts, necessitating lane closures to facilitate the tire change and towing process.
A tow truck was called to assist with the vehicle, which was moved to a designated area for further handling. The California Highway Patrol was on-site to direct traffic and minimize backup as they worked to resolve the situation. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays caused by the traffic incident.
As the situation unfolded, the California Highway Patrol provided updates indicating that the tow truck would arrive shortly, with an estimated time of arrival of 25 to 30 minutes. Drivers were encouraged to remain vigilant and exercise caution while navigating through the affected area.
