A fatal accident occurred on the morning of August 7, 2024, involving a female driver traveling from westbound I-905 to northbound I-5 in San Diego. The incident took place on the transition ramp at approximately 6:35 AM.
For reasons yet to be determined, the driver lost control of her vehicle, veering onto the right shoulder. Afterward, the car re-entered the traffic lanes, causing it to roll several times before coming to rest upside down. Tragically, the driver was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and succumbed to her injuries.
As a result of the accident, the transition ramp was closed, and vehicles were redirected in the opposite direction to ensure safety and facilitate the investigation.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is actively investigating the incident to determine the cause of the crash. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
This accident serves as a somber reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for caution while driving, particularly on busy highways and transition ramps.
