The rollover collision that demolished a Jaguar and left the driver, later identified as Christian Franco, 37, ejected on the roadway was reported about 1:45 a.m., the California Highway Patrol said.

It appears that the driver of the Jaguar lost control of the car and crashed into the guard rail. Drivers in the other vehicles could not avoid the wreckage and crashed into it, the CHP said.

A woman who was driving a Hummer was later taken into custody. Reports said that she was suspected of driving under the influence.

Northbound drivers were taken off the freeway at H Street in Chula Vista.

The highway was reopened about 7:30 a.m., CHP said.
