On Wednesday morning, a tanker truck overturned on southbound Interstate 5 near the Aliso Creek rest area in San Diego. The incident occurred shortly before 6:45 a.m. when the driver pulled off a nonexistent shoulder too far, causing the truck to tip over. Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved and there were no reported injuries.
According to Caltrans San Diego, the tanker was carrying three fuels - regular, diesel, and unleaded - but it was not at full capacity at the time of the incident. As a result of the accident, there will be a hard closure of the right lane in that area for several hours while crews work to clear the scene.
