Chula Vista, CA (September 12, 2025) – Early Wednesday at approximately 1:04 AM, a significant vehicle accident took place on eastbound State Route 54 close to Highland Avenue, resulting in injuries to three individuals, one of whom sustained serious trauma, as reported by emergency communications from Heartland Fire and medical dispatch. The incident occurred near the on-ramp from Highland Ave to SR-54, an area characterized by sharp turns and merging traffic. Units from Chula Vista, National City, and AMR quickly arrived at the location. Emergency responders reported that three people sustained injuries in the accident, with one of them experiencing significant trauma. Paramedics from Medic 418 took the critically injured person to UC San Diego Medical Center while operating under a “code 10” alert, indicating a serious emergency. Two more victims were treated at the scene and subsequently taken to nearby hospitals for additional care. Emergency responders from Chula Vista Medic 51, Truck 51, and National City Squad 33 were instrumental in managing traffic and assisting the victims. The accident location extended partially onto the freeway shoulder, which made it difficult for responders to reach the scene and caused considerable traffic delays throughout the night on SR-54. The complete reason for the crash remains undisclosed, and officials are currently investigating to see if factors such as speed, impairment, or road conditions played a role in the event. We sincerely wish for a quick and complete recovery for the three individuals who sustained injuries in this accident.
