SAN DIEGO, CA — A multi-vehicle hit-and-run crash Thursday afternoon blocked two right lanes on Interstate 15 near San Diego’s Carmel Mountain Ranch, reports the California Highway Patrol.

The incident occurred on the southbound lanes north of Carmel Mountain Road, shortly before 1:51 p.m.

According to the CHP, a large and possibly blue box truck struck a pickup truck attached to a tow truck hook. The impact of the crash caused the pickup to spin out into the right shoulder, facing the wrong direction. The box truck was then seen continuing southbound on the interstate.

A semi-truck was also said to have jackknifed in the slow lane, though it was unclear whether it made contact with the other vehicles.

Responding fire crews said no injuries were reported in the crash, but CHP troopers were required at the scene for traffic control.

Shortly after 2:00 p.m., tow crews had arrived on the scene and was working to clear the wreckage.
