Accident on I-5
Authorities responded Saturday morning to a serious rollover accident on northbound Interstate 5 near Camp Pendleton. According to a statement from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the incident occurred around 5:50 a.m., just before the Aliso Creek Rest Area. For reasons yet unclear, a black sedan abruptly changed lanes from the right to the left, lost control, and overturned. This sudden lane change and rollover prompted an immediate emergency response.
The accident caused immediate concern due to the severity of reported injuries. By 6:20 a.m., CHP confirmed that one of the passengers involved had sustained serious injuries, described as "major injuries." Subsequently, at 6:58 a.m., authorities requested the presence of the San Diego County Medical Examiner, indicating the possibility that the accident may have been fatal.
