A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 8 West near State Route 125 in La Mesa, CA, involving three vehicles: a gray pickup truck, a black SUV, and a gray SUV. The incident took place around 4:55 PM and led to significant traffic disruptions. The middle and right lanes were closed to facilitate the towing and removal of the vehicles, leaving only lanes one and two open for motorists.

As a result, drivers experienced considerable delays and backup in the area, with some opting to divert to the shoulder to navigate around the congestion. Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage traffic and ensure scene safety. Debris from the collision was reported in the affected lanes, further complicating the traffic situation.

By 5:19 PM, responders were working to clear the roadway, and the remaining open lanes helped alleviate some of the congestion. However, motorists should continue to expect delays as the situation is resolved.

Commuters are advised to seek alternative routes if possible to avoid the ongoing traffic impacts caused by this incident. Updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal traffic patterns are restored.
