A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North in Del Mar, CA, has caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident occurred around 1:33 PM and involved two vehicles: a black and gray Honda and a blue BMW X5. Both vehicles sustained damage but are reported as still driveable and remain on the scene while awaiting roadside assistance.
The collision has affected the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, prompting California Highway Patrol (CHP) units to implement traffic control measures. As a result, drivers are experiencing delays and congestion in the area, particularly during the busy afternoon traffic hours.
Emergency response teams are managing the situation to ensure the safe removal of the vehicles involved. A tow truck has been requested to assist with the vehicles, which are currently blocking the HOV lane. Additionally, a gray Tesla Model Y was also reported to be involved in the incident but has since exited the highway and is parked safely on the right-hand side of the offramp.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups and delays as the CHP continues to manage the traffic incident. Updates will be provided as the situation develops and the roadway is cleared.
