On July 2, 2026, at approximately 1:14 PM, a multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred on southbound Interstate 15 near Rancho Bernardo. The incident was triggered when a vehicle from Elite Landscaping lost its load of large pieces of foam, plastic, or metal in the roadway, causing other drivers to swerve. The collision involved an Acura RDX, a cement mixer, a Nissan, and a Honda sedan. A grey Dodge Ram towing a fifth-wheel trailer was also involved and pulled over to the right shoulder. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene, and multiple tow trucks were requested for vehicle recovery. The incident resulted in approximately 50 feet of guardrail damage on the right shoulder, which was Caltrans notified for repair.
