If you were at the beach today around 12:30 PM and tried to cross Coast Highway (like we did) you probably noticed that traffic was backed up all over the place. Turns out an injury roll-over wreck on I-5 South at Palomar Airport Rd. had the freeway temporarily shut down.
The crash was reported at 12:22 p.m. on the southbound I-5, near Palomar Airport Road, said Sgt. Tom Greenstone of the California Highway Patrol. . . Greenstone said Nelly Duran, 29, of Los Angeles, was driving a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe southbound on the freeway at about 70 miles per hour when she failed to notice slower traffic ahead. . . . The Tahoe rear-ended a 2007 Volkswagen driven by Felece Vertrees, 45, of Carlsbad, and then overturned, Greenstone said. One person was ejected from the Tahoe, he said.
Apparently five people were injured including two pre-school age children.
