A traffic collision on State Route 52 East in San Diego, CA, led to significant traffic disruptions today during the afternoon commute. The incident involved three vehicles: a black Toyota 4Runner, a motorcycle, and a black SUV. The collision occurred around 3:36 PM when the black SUV was reported blocking the second lane, while the Toyota 4Runner experienced mechanical failure and stopped in the first lane.
Shortly after, the motorcycle collided with the Toyota 4Runner, complicating the traffic situation further. Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene, working to clear the vehicles and restore normal traffic flow.
By 4:10 PM, responders had successfully moved the vehicles to the right-hand shoulder, but lane blockages and partial closures remained in effect, causing delays and congestion for motorists in the area. Multiple agencies coordinated efforts to control the scene and ensure safety for all drivers.
As the situation developed, traffic remained impacted, with significant backups reported. Motorists were advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes if possible. The traffic incident was cleared later in the afternoon, but residual delays may still be experienced as normal traffic patterns resumed.
