A California Highway Patrol cadet died Sunday in a collision on Interstate Highway 5 at West Benjamin Holt Drive in northwest Stockton.

The Marines said in an earlier statement that the event would take place "on approved training ranges and comport with established safety protocols."

The decision to close Interstate 5 due to live-fire at Camp Pendleton was made early Saturday, a California Highway Patrol official told KPBS.

California closed part of Interstate 5 on Saturday after military officials confirmed artillery would be shot over the freeway. Then it reopened temporarily.

The US Marine Corps is no stranger to firing live ordnance as part training, but it had been years — more than 70, according to one US official — since Marines had fired artillery over a stretch of the I-5 interstate in California like they did last weekend during the Corps’ 250th birthday celebration.

"Because of the event and closure, drivers should expect delays on Interstate 5 and other state routes throughout Southern California before, during, and after the event," the press release says.

The U.S. military exercise that shot live-fire artillery rounds over Interstate 5 on Saturday dropped metal shrapnel onto a California Highway Patrol protective services detail for Vice President JD Vance,
