A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) at Via De La Valle in Del Mar, CA, causing major disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved nine vehicles, including a Chevrolet Camaro-like vehicle, a gray four-door sedan, a gray Kia, a BMW, a black Ford Mustang, and a white Lexus with High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) status.
The collision resulted in lane blockages in lanes 2, 3, and 4, as well as the HOV lane, leading to considerable traffic congestion and delays for motorists. Emergency response teams were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic flow and secure the area. They worked diligently to clear the roadway, but the aftermath of the crash created a backup that affected the flow of vehicles for an extended period.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid ongoing delays as crews work to resolve the situation. This incident underscores the importance of exercising caution while driving, particularly during peak travel times. Updates will be provided as conditions improve and traffic resumes its normal flow.
