SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A San Diego man was ultimately arrested on Saturday following a multi-vehicle ****** on Interstate 805 that left one person dead and several others injured, authorities said. The incident forced a full closure of the southbound freeway, gridlocking traffic for hours.

The pile-up collision occurred around 8:50 a.m., just north of 43rd Street. According to California Highway Patrol, 27-year-old Markus Eugene Turner was driving a ****** Honda sedan when, for reasons still under investigation, he collided with a silver Toyota sedan that was stopped on the right shoulder of the freeway.

The ****** triggered a chain reaction, with Turner’s vehicle also striking a blue Honda sedan and a white Toyota sedan. A nearby silver Nissan SUV was also damaged by flying glass debris, CHP explained in a press release on Monday.

Meanwhile, the driver of the silver Toyota sedan sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene of the ******, CHP confirmed.
