A multi-vehicle collision occurred late last night on State Route 15 South near El Cajon in San Diego, CA, involving three vehicles. The incident took place shortly before midnight when a black sedan collided with a cement wall, leading to additional collisions due to debris on the roadway.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene at approximately 11:56 PM. The initial collision involved the black sedan, which sustained significant damage and was deemed undriveable. A tow truck was called to remove this vehicle shortly after the incident was reported.
As the situation developed, a white Tesla Model Y and a silver Toyota Camry were also involved in subsequent collisions caused by debris from the initial crash. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries requiring medical attention, and emergency responders managed the situation effectively, ensuring the safety of all involved.
The California Highway Patrol was on the scene to direct traffic and assess the situation. The debris from the black sedan posed a hazard, complicating matters for other vehicles on the road. A second tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the later collisions.
By 12:21 AM, it was reported that a third vehicle, a white Honda Civic, had also hit debris from the initial crash but did not require assistance from emergency services. The incident caused temporary lane closures as crews worked to clear the roadway and ensure the safety of motorists.
Authorities remind drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while driving, especially in areas where debris may be present. The quick response from emergency services helped to minimize the impact of the incident on traffic flow, allowing for a swift resolution.
All vehicles involved have since been towed from the scene, and the roadway has been cleared for normal traffic.
