SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Two separate crashes on state Route 52 in the Tierrasanta area led to a heavy traffic backup during the Tuesday morning commute.
The first wreck, which involved at least four vehicles, was reported just before 4:15 a.m. on the westbound side of SR-52 on the transition ramp to northbound Interstate 15.
A second crash occurred at around 5:30 a.m. on westbound SR-52 several miles from the ramp to I-15, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The response to both crashes forced the closure of the transition ramp and led to traffic congestion in the area.
