Driver Killed on I-5 Morning Commute

s curveSAN DIEGO — A woman was killed Today on Interstate 5 close to downtown when a taxi clipped the back of her vehicle and causing it to become overturned on the freeway, according to CHP officials. The accident caused a lengthy closure of all traffic on southbound Interstate 5 in the area. Brandon Garland, of the California Highway Patrol Office, said the crash occurred when a taxi driver, who was traveling about 65 mph made a lane change, moving from the No. 2 lane to the No. 4 lane, and clipped the left rear of the Chevy SUV driving ahead of it. The SUV overturned and came to rest in the lanes of southbound Interstate 5 just north of Broadway, Garland said. The driver of the Chevy sustained fatal injuries and died before she could be taken to a hospital. No one else was in the vehicle. Her name was not released. CHP officers diverted traffic from southbound I-5 to state Route 94 as the scene was being cleared and the accident was being investigated. “Whenever something happens here in the s-curve area of downtown it affects everybody,” he said.
