A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North near Las Pulgas in San Diego County, CA, impacting traffic flow during the late evening hours. The incident involved a single vehicle, a red Toyota sedan, which lost control and collided with a concrete divider after swerving due to a disabled vehicle in the emergency lane.
Emergency services responded quickly to manage the scene and ensure the safety of other motorists. The red Toyota sustained visible damage, including a hanging bumper, and was positioned slightly off alignment. A tow truck was called to assist with the vehicle's removal from the roadway.
Initially, the traffic incident caused some delays as the Toyota was blocking the fast lane. However, emergency responders worked efficiently to clear the scene, and by shortly after midnight, all lanes were reported open, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
