That big Northbound traffic jam Friday night was caused by a Coca-Cola hauling tractor-trailer rig that flipped near Batiquitos Lagoon.
The truck ran off the northbound freeway shoulder north of La Costa Avenue shortly before 5 p.m. and flipped onto its side. . . The California Highway Patrol closed two traffic lanes, forcing motorists to a crawl as far south as San Diego for nearly two hours. By 10 p.m., speeds were still in the single-digits past the wreck.
We’re just glad we ride the Coaster.
