SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
SAN DIEGO — A large car-carrier truck, with at least
eight vehicles on board, apparently overturned on Interstate 15 in Mission
Valley Sunday, and one of its cargo rolled over the center divider and landed
on the other side of the median.
The truck flipped on the northbound 15 north of
Interstate 8 shortly after noon, according to the California Highway Patrol. A
gray sedan fell out of the transport trailer, crashed across the median and
landed in the southbound lanes.
A tow truck loads a car that fell off a car-carrier
truck on Interstate 15 in Mission Valley.
Authorities called tow trucks to remove the carrier
truck with its three vehicles, the wrecked sedan and the truck’s trailer, which
was carrying five vehicles and which had completely detached from the tractor.
No one was hurt.
The roadway was cleared by 12:55 p.m., and Caltrans
crews were notified that the center divider will need repairs.
