A traffic collision on Interstate 15 South near the Interstate 805 North interchange in San Diego, CA, has caused significant disruptions today. The incident involved three vehicles, including a black sedan overturned in a right-hand gulley and another black vehicle found upside down on its roof.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. Traffic control measures were implemented, with cones placed along the roadway to address hazards associated with misplaced cable, which extended approximately 50 feet. As a result, the second lane was coned off while the first lane remained open, allowing some traffic to flow through the area.

Despite the swift response from multiple emergency units, motorists experienced delays and congestion as they navigated the scene. The traffic incident prompted a backup that affected the evening commute for many drivers.

Authorities worked diligently to clear the area and restore normal traffic flow. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. As the situation stabilized, traffic began to ease, but drivers are advised to remain cautious as they approach the affected area.
