Deadly Head-On Crash Shuts Down Westbound SR-52 Near I-805

A grisly wrong-way crash that left at least one person dead shut down a busy San Diego freeway for hours during Friday’s morning commute, according to California Highway Patrol.

Westbound lanes of state Route 52 just east of Interstate 805 were shut down after the head-on crash between a black truck and a red car from about 2:45 a.m. until just before 8:30 a.m., Caltrans said.

Video of the grisly crash showed the truck flipped on its side and what was left of a mangled red car. According to reports, the black truck was traveling the wrong way on westbound SR-52 when the two vehicles crashed head-on.

The driver of the red vehicle was killed. The condition of the driver of the black truck was not clear.

While lanes were shut down, CHP was diverting traffic off the westbound freeway at Convoy Street and SR-163. A SigAlert was in effect with traffic backed up to Kearny Villa Road.

This is a developing story. Details may change as information is released.
