SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — A two-vehicle wreck Thursday afternoon led to an alleged physical assault incident on State Route 52 in west Santee, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The collision occurred on the eastbound side of SR-52, just east of Mast Boulevard, shortly before 2:46 p.m.

Details remain limited, but a gray Toyota sedan and a white Ford pickup truck were involved, leaving the right lane blocked.

The CHP Traffic Incident Information Page indicates that following the crash, the driver of the Toyota got out of their vehicle, approached the pickup truck, and then began punching the other driver through the pickup’s open window.

At this time, officials have not reported any arrests or charges.

It remains unclear whether anyone sustained major crash-related injuries, but at least one ambulance was requested at the scene.
