A traffic collision occurred today at the interchange of Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) and State Route 163 North (SR-163 N) in San Diego, CA, involving four vehicles, including a motorcycle. The incident led to a complete stoppage of the main lanes, resulting in significant traffic delays and congestion for drivers in the area.

Emergency response units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. The collision caused the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 to be shut down, and additional units were requested to assist in redirecting traffic. As a result, motorists experienced substantial backups and delays during the evening hours, typically known for heavy traffic.

Tow trucks were called to the scene to assist in clearing the vehicles involved in the collision. The full closure of the main lanes created challenges for drivers, who were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the congestion.
