The 5 Freeway is a major north-south route stretching from the Mexican border at the San Ysidro crossing to the Canadian border near Blaine, Washington.

Fire officials were unclear of what caused the crash, but a rainstorm moving through Southern California since Thursday created slippery roads.
The three left lanes of the freeway were closed.
Officials are asking drivers in the area to seek alternative routes or expect heavy delays on the freeway.
