A traffic collision on Interstate 15 North in San Diego, CA, caused significant disruptions today during the afternoon commute. The incident, which occurred around 4:07 PM, involved three vehicles: a grey Nissan with heavy front-end damage, a white minivan, and a red vehicle. While the minivan and red vehicle remained drivable, the grey Nissan required assistance due to its condition.
Traffic was impacted as lane diversions were implemented in both the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) and general purpose lanes. Emergency response units arrived on the scene to manage traffic flow and control the situation, leading to delays for motorists in the area. Reports indicated that the HOV lane was temporarily diverted, contributing to congestion as vehicles navigated around the incident.
As responders worked to clear the scene, drivers experienced backups and delays, particularly in the affected lanes. The situation was further complicated by a vehicle passing at a high rate of speed, which added to the caution required by emergency personnel.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and remain alert while traveling through this area. This traffic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices and the potential for unexpected collisions on busy highways.
