A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North near Pershing Street in San Diego, CA, leading to major disruptions in traffic flow during the afternoon commute. The incident involved one primary vehicle, identified as B87-001B, which was directly involved in the crash.
As a result of the collision, approximately 100 motorcycles were present on the scene, contributing to severe traffic congestion and delays. Lanes were stopped and partially closed, causing frustration among motorists as they navigated the affected area.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded promptly to manage the scene and control traffic. Officers worked diligently to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the roadway. Witnesses reported that motorcycles were observed behaving erratically prior to the incident, which may have contributed to the traffic backup.
As the CHP continued to manage the situation, drivers were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays. The response team focused on restoring normal traffic flow as quickly as possible, but the presence of numerous motorcycles added complexity to the cleanup efforts.
Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious in the area as the situation develops and traffic conditions improve. Updates will be provided by the CHP as they work to clear the scene and reopen all lanes.
