A traffic collision on Cole Grade Road in Valley Center, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Dodge Ram that was found on its side, blocking northbound traffic, and a Ford Dodge Ram observed on its left side.

Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol were dispatched to the scene shortly after the collision was reported at approximately 6:38 AM.

As emergency responders worked diligently to restore normal traffic conditions, motorists were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid potential backups.
