Fatal Crash Closes Four I-805 Lanes

Four lanes of Interstate 805 have been closed down after an SUV and a car collide, killing one person.

The California Highway Patrol issued a Sig Alert just after 7 p.m. for the northbound lanes of I-805, south of I-5 in Sorrento Valley.

It's unclear what happened leading up to the crash, but the back of the white sedan was completely caved in, while the white SUV had bad front-end damage.

CHP has not said in which vehicle the fatality occurred. The other driver was taken to Scripps La Jolla Hospital for unknown injuries.

Another dark green BMW was damaged in the left rear, where a tail light is broken.

The lanes were shut down for about two and a half hours, reopened at about 9:30 p.m.
