SANTEE
A busy Santee intersection was shut down Wednesday evening as authorities cleaned up chemicals that spilled in a non-injury crash, sheriff’s officials said.
The multiple-vehicle collision occurred around 3:45 p.m. at Mission Gorge Road and Cuyamaca Street, according to sheriff’s officials.

While no injuries were reported, one of the involved vehicles was apparently a work truck that spilled bottles of chlorine, according to sheriff’s Lt. Pat McEvoy. Emergency crews were working to clean up the spilled chemicals before they reached the storm drain.
