A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South near the Coronado Bridge in San Diego, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 3:27 PM and involved two vehicles: a tan Kia Sonata and a black Dodge dually. Both vehicles became immobile in the fast lane, blocking lane one and leading to traffic congestion.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Multiple units were deployed to control the situation and facilitate the removal of the vehicles. A tow truck was called to assist in clearing the roadway, which helped alleviate some of the delays caused by the blockage.

As a result of the traffic incident, drivers experienced backups in the area, particularly during the afternoon commute.
