SAN DIEGO, CA — One person was hurt Friday afternoon due to a collision on Interstate 5 in San Diego’s Mission Bay area, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The incident was reported on the southbound lanes of I-5, just north of Exit 21 to Sea World Drive, near SeaWorld San Diego. Dispatchers first received the call at around 3:24 p.m.

While the circumstances behind the event remain unclear, preliminary details indicate the driver of a black Mazda 6 had initially left the scene to exit the freeway, prompting an early report of a hit-and-run. The CHP Traffic Incident Information Page shows the driver later returned and/or alerted authorities.

One victim in a white Mercedes sedan sustained unspecified injuries.

No tow services were immediately requested as both vehicles remained operable after the crash.
