A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 805 South in National City, CA, causing disruptions to the morning commute. The incident involved three vehicles: a beige SUV that flipped over, a red pickup truck that was engulfed in flames, and a van, commonly referred to as the “bro van.” All three vehicles are currently not drivable and will require towing.
The collision resulted in the partial blockage of the #1 lane and the carpool lane, leading to lane closures and traffic congestion. Traffic cones were placed to direct vehicles around the scene, but drivers experienced delays as emergency units managed the situation.
Multiple emergency response units were dispatched to control the scene and ensure safety. The presence of visible smoke from the burning pickup truck heightened the urgency of the response. Motorists are advised to expect backups and consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
Tow trucks are en route to remove the damaged vehicles, and authorities are actively managing the traffic incident. Drivers are encouraged to remain cautious and patient as the situation develops and to stay informed about traffic conditions in the area.
