A significant traffic collision occurred today on Southbound State Route 163 (SR-163) near the Interstate 805 (I-805) interchange in San Diego, CA. The incident involved six vehicles, including a blue Mazda CX-5, a black SUV, a gray Kia Telluride, a white Honda Accord, another gray SUV, and a white sedan.

The collision resulted in debris scattered across the right-hand lanes, leading to lane blockages and leaving only one lane open for traffic. This has created considerable congestion and delays for motorists during the busy afternoon traffic hours.
