Two people were injured following a rollover crash involving a semi truck near Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, early Wednesday morning, May 13, 2026.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident occurred around 1:45 a.m. in the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the Aliso Creek Rest Area.
Authorities stated that the semi truck traveled onto the right shoulder embankment, then swerved across multiple lanes and crashed into a guardrail. Two additional vehicles later collided with the overturned truck.
The driver of the semi truck sustained major but non-life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to a local hospital for treatment. The driver of a Honda CR-V suffered minor injuries and was transported to a hospital.
Debris and cargo from the crash were scattered across the freeway as crews worked to clear the scene and repair damaged guardrails. Multiple southbound lanes and portions of the northbound roadway were temporarily closed, resulting in significant traffic delays throughout the area.
Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
