A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) at the Clairemont So (e Mission Bay) exit in San Diego, CA. The incident took place around 5:00 PM and involved a white Nissan Maxima, a blue Lexus 4-Door, and a gray Toyota Sienna. All three vehicles were blocking the slow lane, leading to significant traffic delays and congestion in the area.

Emergency response units were dispatched to manage the situation and clear the roadway. Tow services were requested to remove the vehicles from the slow lane, which were confirmed to be obstructing traffic by 5:10 PM. The presence of these vehicles caused backups for motorists traveling through this busy area during the late afternoon.

As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, traffic flow was severely impacted, creating delays for those commuting home. By 5:44 PM, efforts were underway to restore normal traffic conditions. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes if possible, as residual congestion may persist following the traffic incident.

Updates on traffic conditions will be provided as the situation develops, and drivers are encouraged to remain cautious while navigating through the affected area.
