A traffic collision occurred today at the Interstate 5 South and Interstate 805 interchange in San Diego, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved one vehicle, which became inoperable on the roadway, necessitating the involvement of towing services.

Emergency responders arrived shortly after the incident was reported around midnight to manage traffic flow and ensure safety at the scene. As of early morning, the right lane of the interchange remained blocked, causing delays and congestion for commuters during the busy morning hours.
