A four-vehicle collision on Interstate 15 near the Carmel Mountain Ranch neighborhood in San Diego left one person dead and up to nine others injured on Sunday morning, August 3, 2025.
According to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department and the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred just before 9:00 a.m. on the southbound side of I-15 near Camino del Norte.
Initial reports indicate the collision began in the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane involving three vehicles, with a fourth vehicle later striking one of the involved cars.
Officer Michael Meza of CHP stated that injuries ranged from minor to major. It was not immediately clear whether the person who died at the scene was included in the injury count. Some of those injured were minors, and CHP was continuing to follow up with hospitals.
Caltrans reopened the southbound I-15 HOV lanes north of Camino del Norte shortly before noon.
Authorities continue to investigate the crash.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
