SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – An Amazon semi-truck crashed on the state Route 125 connector to Interstate 8 in La Mesa early Wednesday morning, leaving the big rig’s cab partially dangling from the side of the roadway.
According to the California Highway Patrol’s incident log, the wreck happened at around 1:50 a.m. as the truck was traveling on the southbound SR-125 transition ramp to westbound I-8.
While the cause of the single-vehicle crash was unclear, wet lanes from overnight rain may have been a factor.
Due to the incident, the following closures were put into effect:
- Westbound I-8 lanes at SR-125 to Grossmont Blvd.
- La Mesa Blvd. on-ramp to eastbound I-8 lanes
At around 5 a.m., emergency crews moved the dangling cab away from the barrier and a tow truck transported the big rig from the scene.
All lanes were reopened by 5:50 a.m.
