SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — A single-vehicle accident was reported Thursday afternoon on Interstate 5 near Del Mar Boat Basin in north Oceanside, according to California Highway Patrol.

The collision occurred on the northbound lanes of the interstate about a mile north of Harbor Drive. It was first reported by CHP at 12:34 a.m.

It is unclear what led up to the crash, but a black pickup truck was said to have traveled off the left hand shoulder and collided with the left-side guardrail. The impact of the crash sent the vehicle into the gap between the highway’s northbound and southbound lanes, with the pickup facing eastbound.

The crash report indicates about 30 feet of guardrail was damaged and sticking out into the roadway, presenting a traffic hazard.

As of 1:10 p.m., CHP has not yet reported any significant injuries in the accident.
