A California Highway Patrol cadet died Sunday in a collision on Interstate Highway 5 at West Benjamin Holt Drive in northwest Stockton.
While no one was hurt, experts say the decision to fire live munitions over the freeway during the ceremony was highly unusual.
Artillery rounds also were launched over the freeway during a rehearsal for the demonstration attended by Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
I-5 closes 11 a.m.–3 p.m. for Marine Corps 250th anniversary live-fire demo at Camp Pendleton; expect major SoCal traffic delays.
A driver who died after a crash along Interstate 5 in Stockton over the weekend was a California Highway Patrol cadet, the agency said.
And after a half-day of back-and-forth between Gov. Gavin Newsom and the White House, it seems as if all talk of shutting down Interstate 5 in California will not take place.
Rounds were fired on Friday across Interstate 5 as part of a test run for Saturday’s event at Camp Pendleton in Southern California.
Newsom's office told the Los Angeles Times that it has received reports that the White House is directing a plan to use Navy ships off the California coast to fire missiles into Camp Pendleton.
