A traffic collision involving two Tesla SUVs occurred today on Interstate 15 South near Nichols Road in Lake Elsinore, CA. The incident took place around 6:31 PM, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the evening commute. One vehicle, a gray Tesla SUV, had its airbags deployed, while the other, a white Tesla SUV, ended up down an embankment.

Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene and oversee recovery operations. Traffic management units were deployed to control the situation, directing vehicles away from the affected area. This response resulted in delays and congestion for motorists traveling on Interstate 15 South.

A tow truck was called to assist with the recovery of the white Tesla SUV from the embankment, and additional resources were requested to ensure both vehicles were safely removed from the scene. The presence of emergency personnel and tow trucks contributed to ongoing traffic backups, as lanes were temporarily closed to facilitate recovery efforts.

Motorists are advised to expect delays and consider alternative routes while the situation is being resolved. Authorities are working diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
