SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — Medics were dispatched to a rollover wreck late Friday afternoon on Interstate 5 in the Leucadia area of Encinitas, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The collision took place on the southbound lanes south of Leucadia Boulevard and was first reported to the CHP shortly after 4:30 p.m.

Officials have not specified the events leading up to the crash, but the CHP Traffic Incident page initially indicated a single vehicle had overturned and come to rest on the right shoulder after striking an unknown object.

Three vehicles were said to be blocking travel lanes, but it was unclear whether or not all vehicles were involved.

While the CHP has not yet confirmed any major injuries, an ambulance and one tow truck were requested at the scene.
