San Diego, CA (August 3, 2025) — A multi-vehicle collision on Interstate 15 South near Camino Del Norte left one person dead and nine others injured Sunday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol and San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Incident Details: The crash occurred at approximately 8:57 a.m. and involved four vehicles. Emergency responders reported that at least two individuals suffered critical injuries, while seven others sustained minor injuries. Some victims were trapped inside their vehicles and required extrication, though officials have not confirmed the exact number. Victims’ names have not yet been released.
The HOV lane was closed for several hours while crews worked to clear the scene, reopening shortly before noon.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: Authorities have not yet released the cause of the crash, but investigators will likely focus on factors such as speeding, following distance, unsafe lane changes, or distracted driving. Eyewitness accounts, traffic camera footage, and physical evidence from the scene will be essential in reconstructing the events leading to the collision.
Depending on investigation findings, those injured and the family of the deceased may have grounds to pursue personal injury or wrongful death claims to help cover medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.
I extend my condolences to the family of the deceased and hope for a complete recovery for all those who were injured.
