A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 78 (SR-78) at Weekend Villa Road in Ramona, CA, significantly impacting traffic flow. The incident involved one vehicle that veered off the road and struck an embankment.
Emergency traffic management units were dispatched to the scene to secure the area and implement one-way traffic controls. As a result, both directions of SR-78 were initially closed at the intersection with Haverford Road, leading to substantial delays and congestion for motorists during the afternoon commute.
A tow truck was called to remove the vehicle, which was subsequently taken to a county-wide tow yard. Emergency personnel worked diligently to manage the scene and facilitate traffic control, ensuring the safety of all road users.
By early evening, one-way traffic was established to allow vehicles to pass safely while cleanup efforts continued. Authorities worked to restore two-way traffic as quickly as possible, and by 6:10 PM, two-way traffic was reopened, alleviating some of the congestion that had built up throughout the day.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual delays may still be present. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices on California's highways.
