Oceanside, CA (March 2, 2026) – A woman suffered injuries Sunday afternoon, March 1, after a crash on the southbound Interstate 5 Freeway near Las Pulgas in Oceanside.
The accident occurred around 4:52 p.m. near the Camp Pendleton Marine Base. According to the California Highway Patrol, the woman had stopped on the right shoulder to change a tire when a pickup truck struck either her or her vehicle.
The pickup driver told officers he hit the car, not the woman. Emergency crews airlifted the injured woman to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla for treatment. Officials have not released details about her current condition.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of the collision.
We extend our sincere wishes for recovery to the injured woman.
