One Dead after Semi-Truck Collision in Normal Heights
SAN DIEGO, CA (March 11, 2022) – Early Friday morning, a woman was fatally struck in a big-rig crash on Interstate 15.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident happened around 2:20 a.m., in the area of Normal Heights and Kensington.
Per reports, a truck driver lost control and the semi-truck jackknifed on the rain slicked freeway. As a result, the large trailer swung out to the side, blocking multiple northbound lanes.
Shortly after, a 76-year-old woman driving a white Honda CRV hit the truck after failing to stop. The collision left the Honda lodged underneath the trailer.
