A man in his 30s died this morning on the 78 connector to southbound Interstate 5 when a semi-truck trailer rolled over and crushed the Lexus he was driving, according to a story on NBC San Diego.
Witnesses told investigators that the Lexus was on the left side of the big rig, when the big rig started fishtailing and then rolled, crushing the car shortly before 7 a.m. . . . Here’s what is currently closed: Southbound I-5 to eastbound SR-78, Cassidy Street onramp to southbound I-5, Westbound SR-78 to southbound I-5.
