[01-10-2023] San Diego County, CA – Two-Vehicle Collision in Alpine Hospitalized Several People

Several people were injured following a two-vehicle collision in Alpine, San Diego County, on Tuesday evening, January 10, 2023.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. on Alpine Boulevard, east of West Willows Road.

A 1987 Suzuki Samurai driven by a 40-year-old man from Santee was heading west on Alpine Boulevard when it entered the eastbound lane in front of a 2003 Honda Accord driven by a 70-year-old Descanso woman.

The collision caused the Suzuki to roll onto its right side and block the road’s westbound lane.

The Suzuki driver was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital for sustaining major injuries, while the Honda’s occupants sustained moderate wounds and were also taken to the same hospital. It is unclear how many people were involved.

As the investigation continues, it does not appear that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.
