A freak accident launched a car into a backyard off the I-5 in San Diego, closing a portion of busy freeway for hours during the morning commute.

The California Highway Patrol said it’s investigating the crash that occurred early Wednesday morning, resulting in the car landing in the yard, KGTV reported.

The car was traveling southbound on the I-5 near Balboa Avenue at the time.

Wild video posted by ABC10 News showed the white sedan on its side in the predawn hours.

The car was seen pinned up against a wall behind storage sheds. It appeared the front of the vehicle had been damaged in the crash.

It’s unclear how the car ended up in the backyard or if anyone was injured in the wreck.

The California Post contacted the CHP for more information.
