A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the off-ramp of Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) at Harbor Drive in Oceanside, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute, leading to significant traffic disruptions in the area. The collision involved a semi-truck, which appears to be driveable, and a black Chevrolet.
