A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) South in San Diego, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 4:09 PM and involved two vehicles: a black Chevrolet sedan and a black BMW sedan. The collision has blocked the two slowest lanes on I-5 South, leading to delays and congestion for motorists in the area.
Emergency response teams, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Metro Command Center, promptly arrived to manage the scene and direct traffic. The vehicles involved remain on-site, and it is currently unclear whether they are drivable or require towing.
Drivers are advised to expect backups and to consider alternative routes to avoid delays. The blockage of the two slowest lanes is likely to create extended wait times, particularly during the busy afternoon traffic hours.
As responders work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow, motorists are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions and exercise caution while approaching the area. The CHP is actively engaged in managing the situation to ensure safety and minimize disruptions on I-5 South.
