A traffic collision on Interstate 805 South in San Diego, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the afternoon commute. The incident, which involved three vehicles—a silver Mazda CX9, a black Jeep SUV, and a vehicle described as either a gray or blue SUV or an unknown-color sedan—occurred around 3:32 PM.
As a result of the collision, lane #1 was blocked, forcing vehicles to be redirected to the right. This led to delays and congestion in the area as drivers navigated around the scene. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) units were promptly assigned to manage traffic and ensure scene control.
A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. By approximately 4:01 PM, all vehicles had been cleared from the roadway, allowing traffic to gradually resume to normal conditions.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 805 South should remain cautious and expect potential residual delays as traffic flow stabilizes. This incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices to prevent traffic collisions and maintain smooth traffic flow on busy highways.
