[SAN DIEGO (Kearny Mesa) Fri Jan 17, 2:56 a.m.]
Two vehicles collided early Friday on southbound Interstate 15 where the Balboa Avenue on-ramp merges into the freeway, briefly stopping traffic in all lanes, according to dispatch logs.
Responders reported one vehicle smoking at the scene, and airbags had deployed in both vehicles. Medics transported two people to area hospitals. Traffic was temporarily held as crews worked the scene and coordinated towing.
Investigators did not immediately release a cause. Subsequent dispatch notes later classified the crash as DUI-related. No further details were available early Friday.
