[04-02-2026] San Diego County, CA – Fatal Crash Involving Motorcycle and Sedan Closes Northbound I-805 Near Mission Valley

A fatal crash involving a motorcycle and a sedan led to a full freeway closure on northbound Interstate 805 near Mission Valley in San Diego County on Thursday morning, April 2, 2026.

The California Highway Patrol reported the collision just before 5 a.m. in the area north of Friars Road and south of Murray Ridge Road.

Preliminary information indicates the motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed before the crash, but no further details were immediately available, including the number of people involved.

As a result, all northbound lanes on I-805 were temporarily closed, causing “extreme congestion” from El Cajon Boulevard to Murray Ridge Road, where traffic was diverted.

Motorists were advised to expect delays and consider alternate routes during the investigation and cleanup. By 5:55 a.m., Caltrans confirmed the reopening of the two right lanes, while the left three lanes remained closed. By 8:15 a.m., all lanes were reopened to traffic.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You

Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
