2 Crashes Disrupt I-15 Traffic North And Southbound In Temecula: CHP

TEMECULA, CA ? Two separate crashes disrupted I-15 traffic both north and southbound near Temecula Tuesday morning, according to California Highway Patrol dispatch.

At 9 a.m., a white Tahoe heading northbound lost control for unknown reasons and collided with a guardrail head-on, according to CHP. No one was injured in that crash, according to a Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department spokesperson, and a tow truck was called to the scene.

Roughly an hour later, southbound I-15 traffic was also disrupted due to a white van that broke down for unknown reasons, blocking the #1 lane. A tow truck was also called for that vehicle, CHP said. That incident caused residual slowing southbound through the area as traffic backed up to just before the Temecula Parkway offramp.

No other information was immediately available.
