A multi-vehicle collision in Sherman Heights has left several people injured, according to the San Diego Police Department's Watch Commander's Log. The incident, logged under incident number 42761, occurred yesterday at approximately 1:37 a.m. along the 2400 block of J Street. A stopped 1998 Honda was rear-ended by a 2015 BMW, which was driven by an 18-year-old male. The force of the collision propelled the Honda into two parked vehicles, which led to a chain reaction involving five cars in total.

Traveling eastbound, the passengers in the BMW were transported to a local hospital after the impact. An 18-year-old male from that same BMW sustained a lower left leg open fracture, confirmed by Officer S. Foster, the Watch Commander on duty. The sequence of events, as described, unfolded rapidly, leaving debris and havoc across the mid-block where the vehicles finally came to rest. Traffic units have since responded and are handling the ongoing investigation.

The aftermath of the crash required attention from emergency services and investigation teams. Five passengers in the BMW are now being examined for injuries. Local authorities have not disclosed the condition of the individuals involved in the parked vehicles.

San Diego Police Department has issued a call for witnesses or anyone with information related to this serious injury collision. They are encouraged to contact the department's website or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 to aid the inquiry with potential insights.
