On the arrival of Engine Company 1 and Medic 1 (Riverview Station) they discovered a single vehicle that had rolled into the southbound lanes of Highway 67. Crews assessed the occupant and determined that her injuries required that she be transported to a trauma center. After the assessment the patient was transported via Medic 1 to Sharp Trauma in Kearny Mesa. Battalion 1 (Laff) assumed Highway 67 IC and directed crews at the incident.

The Lakeside Fire District received assistance from the Santee Fire Department. Currently the CHP is investigating the incident.
