A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North at the L Street on-ramp in Chula Vista, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions this morning. The incident involved one heavily damaged vehicle, which led to the closure of the on-ramp and affected lanes due to debris and a damaged guardrail encroaching into the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.
Emergency response units arrived quickly to manage the situation and secure the affected roadway. A tow truck was called to the scene to assist with the damaged vehicle, while crews worked to clear debris and assess the guardrail damage. The incident resulted in traffic delays and congestion, particularly impacting morning commuters navigating the busy area.
As the situation developed, multiple units coordinated efforts to ensure safety and minimize traffic backup. The ramp closure and lane restrictions are expected to remain in place until the roadway is fully cleared and repairs are made to the guardrail. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays in their morning travel.
Drivers in the Chula Vista area should remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions as emergency crews continue to address the aftermath of this traffic incident.
