A tow truck went down an embankment after colliding with a Lexus SUV on southbound Interstate 15 just south of State Route 76 in San Diego County, on Tuesday afternoon, October 14, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash was reported around 2:47 p.m. and involved a Fallbrook-based commercial tow truck and a white Lexus RX 350.
CHP dispatch logs indicated that the tow truck traveled about 100 feet down an embankment, while the Lexus pulled to the right shoulder.
Fire crews from Cal Fire/San Diego County Fire and CHP units responded to the scene. A fire engine arrived shortly after 2:50 p.m., and the roadway was partially blocked as crews assessed the situation and arranged for a heavy-duty tow recovery.
A wrecker was dispatched at 2:58 p.m. to retrieve the vehicle. No injuries or lane closures were reported in the initial update.
Authorities continue to investigate the incident.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
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.
