A traffic collision on State Route 52 West in Santee, CA, caused significant disruptions during the evening commute today. The incident occurred around 7:38 PM and involved two vehicles: a white Toyota that was found overturned in the slow lane and a dark-colored sedan that collided with a wall.

Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene, where they found the white Toyota partially damaged and blocking the slow lane. Traffic was immediately impacted, with vehicles being directed to the shoulder for safety. This led to delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area.

A tow truck was requested to assist with the overturned vehicle, while responders worked to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. By 7:52 PM, emergency crews had successfully pushed the damaged vehicles to the shoulder, allowing for the gradual reopening of lanes. Despite the swift response, drivers experienced backups as crews worked to clear the scene.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area, as residual delays may persist following the incident. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to stay alert and follow traffic instructions to ensure safe passage through the affected zone.
