All lanes of northbound Interstate 15 were shut down early Monday after a fatal crash involving five vehicles, officials said. The closure caused a major traffic backup.<\/p>\n
The crash was reported around 3:35 a.m. on I-15 at Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. Motorists initially reported two vehicles were involved in a crash but then other vehicles collided with the cars, according to a California Highway Patrol online log.<\/p>\n
CHP officers said one person was killed. No information about the person who died was immediately available.<\/p>\n
Vehicles were being diverted to westbound and eastbound state Route 52, CHP Officer Michael Meza said. Traffic was backed up before Interstate 8 all the way to SR-52, he said.<\/p>\n
He said it was unclear when the lanes would reopen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All lanes of northbound Interstate 15 were shut down early Monday after a fatal crash involving five vehicles,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[7,6164,138,79,181,23,100,74,84,76,75,1696],"class_list":["post-508508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-california","tag-clairemont","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-kearny-mesa","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-county","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-top-stories-sdut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
