A traffic collision on Interstate 805 South in National City, CA, caused significant disruptions today. The incident occurred around 6:37 PM when a single vehicle, a silver Honda Accord, lost control and collided with the right-hand railing. This impact left the vehicle facing sideways and effectively blocked the off-ramp, leading to lane closures and traffic delays.
Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. The off-ramp was temporarily shut down, resulting in rerouted traffic and potential backups for motorists during the busy evening commute. Crews coordinated for the vehicle's tow, as its position hindered the flow of traffic.
By approximately 6:56 PM, the off-ramp remained closed while emergency responders worked to clear the scene. Fortunately, by 7:06 PM, the off-ramp was reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, drivers may have experienced delays and congestion during the incident.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area and stay updated on traffic conditions. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly in high-traffic zones.
