Truck Hauling Mobile Home Flips, Blocks I-15 Lanes

The California Highway Patrol issued a Sig Alert on Interstate 15 after a mobile home pulled by a pickup truck rolled over in Escondido.

The driver of the truck told NBC 7 that he was in the far right lane of southbound I-15, nearing 9th Avenue, when he realized too late that he was in an "exit only" lane.

As he tried to jerk his truck and the trailer into the left lanes, the trailer, carrying the mobile home, began to wobble.

The driver could not regain control, and the mobile home flipped on its side at about 8:30 p.m. near Felicita Road. The crash blocked multiple lanes on the freeway.

The truck was half suspended in the air when the driver and his family scrambled out. No injuries were reported.

Officials issued the Sig Alert as they figured out how to clear the scene.
