Traffic appears to be affected all the way north to Balboa Avenue.
About an hour after the freeway was closed, a representative for the San Diego Police Department confirmed to NBC 7 that Friars Road between Qualcomm Way and River Run Drive is closed in both directions. The I-805 runs above Friars road between those points.
