A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South in San Diego, CA, caused temporary lane closures during the morning commute today. The incident involved a single vehicle, a gray 2009 Pontiac G6, which was found positioned sideways in the right lane at the interchange with State Route 75 South.
Emergency responders from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived quickly to manage the scene and ensure the safety of other motorists. The vehicle was removed from the roadway with the assistance of a tow truck, allowing for the clearance of the affected lanes.
As the tow truck worked to remove the Pontiac, traffic experienced a brief disruption, leading to a temporary backup for drivers in the area. However, by mid-morning, all lanes were confirmed to be clear, and traffic resumed its normal flow.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the need for immediate reporting of collisions to minimize disruptions on major highways like Interstate 5. The CHP continues to encourage drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations to ensure road safety.
