A semi-truck crash involving multiple vehicles caused significant traffic delays on State Route 78 in Oceanside on Monday morning, March 24, 2025.
According to California Highway Patrol Officer Hunter Gerber, the incident occurred at around 7:40 a.m. when a westbound semi-truck on SR-78 near Jefferson Drive struck a car for unknown reasons.
The truck then swerved left, collided with another vehicle, and both the semi-truck and the second vehicle overturned.
As the truck crashed into the center divider, it struck an additional vehicle and sent debris flying, which hit two more vehicles.
Photos from the scene showed a cement truck overturned and sprawled across both directions of SR-78, with its body pressed against the center divider.
The driver of the semi-truck was not injured. Two other individuals were transported to the hospital with unknown injuries.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the CHP.
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.
