One person was killed in a fiery three-vehicle crash on Interstate 805 early Sunday morning that led to all the northbound lanes to be closed and traffic diverted to state Route 52, authorities said.
The crash was reported shortly after 4:20 a.m. on northbound I-805 south of Miramar Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. At least one vehicle struck the center divider and caught fire, the CHP said.
No details about what led to the crash were immediately available. It was not known if any other drivers were injured.
All the northbound lanes were closed at 6 a.m., with traffic being diverted to SR-52, according to an online CHP log. The Governor Drive on-ramp to north I-805 also was closed, the CHP said.
As of 11 a.m., the closure was still in place, although Caltrans workers were reportedly preparing to reopen the roadway.
No further information was immediately available.
