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. The engine was ejected from the vehicle, and its spillage started a fire near other palm trees.
Emergency Responders spent about twenty minutes pulling a seriously injured male out of the car. He was bleeding from his abdomen and was 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. 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, which may have been Coca-Cola, dripping from the overturned truck and seeping onto the highway’s shoulder.
The previous day, in Spring Valley, on the 94 by the Bancroft Avenue exit, a red truck crashed into a 25-foot commercial truck. The commercial truck was leaking fuel after it left the freeway and rolled off. At least one person was injured and was transported to a local hospital. Earlier, a tractor-trailer hauling stage equipment for a Luis Miguel concert overturned in Mexicali.
The spike is hard to explain. Rollover crashes account for only 2.2% of all motor vehicle accidents in the U.S., according to the National Library of Medicine.
