A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 South (I-5) near Vista Del Lago Road in Lebec, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions. The incident involved five vehicles: a semi-truck, a minivan, a black SUV, a green Lexus RX, and an unknown sedan. The semi-truck reportedly pinned the black SUV against the concrete divider, while the minivan was trapped between the semi-truck and the divider.
As a result of the collision, multiple lanes were blocked, causing substantial traffic congestion and delays for drivers in the area. Emergency response teams from the California Highway Patrol were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic flow and secure the incident site. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the semi-truck, which sustained significant damage and required towing.
Motorists traveling through this section of I-5 should expect backups and plan for potential delays as crews work to clear the roadway.
