SoCal Freeway Shut Down Due to Military Event
A 17-mile stretch of Southern California's I-5 freeway was shut down on Saturday due to a military event involving live ammunition at Camp Pendleton.
The event was part of the U.S. Marine Corps' 250th anniversary celebration. The freeway was closed from Harbor Drive in Oceanside to Basilone Road near San Onofre, affecting both sides of the freeway.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the military event involved "live ammunition being discharged by the federal government over the freeway." A video released by California officials showed live munitions being fired near the freeway on Friday, apparently as a practice run.
The freeway closure, which began at 11 a.m., caused heavy traffic congestion, but it has since reopened on Saturday afternoon.
The military event will involve "live ammunition being discharged by the federal government over the freeway."
