Roll-over crashes crop up in San Diego and Baja

Nails, beer, Coca-Cola, Mexican pop singer Luis Miguel's stage equipment

On September 11, a Coca-Cola truck rolled over on Corredor 2000 in Tijuana.
On September 11, a Coca-Cola truck rolled over on Corredor 2000 in Tijuana.

In the last three months, cars and semis have rolled over in San Diego County and just across the border.

The most recent spill happened on September 29, when a car lost control on I-5 at National City.

"Witnesses stated that the male driver of the Camaro was speeding and weaving in and out of traffic before he left the lanes and slammed into a palm tree on the right shoulder," said 911 Video News. The engine was ejected from the vehicle, and its spillage started a fire near other palm trees.

"It took approx 20 minutes to pull the male out of the car, and he had major injuries but was awake. He was bleeding from his abdomen and rushed to a local hospital."

On September 11, a Coca-Cola truck rolled over on Corredor 2000, a highway across the border that runs from the other side of Otay Mesa to Rosarito Beach. El Tijuanense reported, "Three employees were traveling in the truck and were treated by Red Cross paramedics for minor injuries."

Some other news reports showed a dark liquid dripping from the overturned truck, but they didn't confirm Coca-Cola was seeping onto the highway's shoulder.

In Spring Valley, on the 94 by the Bancroft Avenue exit, a red truck crashed into a 25-foot commercial truck.


The day prior, back in Spring Valley, on the 94 by the Bancroft Avenue exit, a red truck crashed into a 25-foot commercial truck, as reported by 911 Video News. "The commercial truck left the freeway and rolled off. Only the number one lane of

 94 is open... The truck is leaking fuel."

Video footage showed scaffolding and pipes spilling onto the street. "At least one person was injured and was transported to a local hospital. The truck need[ed] to be unloaded before being righted onto its wheels."

On September 3, on La Rumorosa, considered the most dangerous highway across the border – a Trareysa truck driver hauling two tankers crashed into a wall that acted as a guardrail. As shown by Canal 66, the tractor and one of the trailers fell down the embankment, while the other tanker remained on the highway, which runs from Tecate to Mexicali.

Just days earlier, a tractor-trailer hauling stage equipment for a Luis Miguel concert overturned in Mexicali, as reported by the Posta outlet.

In late June, 619 News Media reported on the aftermath of a roofer’s truck that flipped on the 94 near the Massachusetts Avenue exit in Lemon Grove, spilling nails across the freeway. Photos and videos online showed the scattered nails, which police officers, CHP, and their assistants helped clean up. "At least three vehicles pulled over after the accident with punctured tires after the incident to file claims."

Later that same day, on La Rumorosa, a truck hauling beer cans rolled over. Some drivers pulled over to collect the scattered cans and load them into their cars.

Rollover crashes account for only 2.2 percent of all motor vehicle accidents in the U.S., according to the National Library of Medicine.
