A serious injury collision occurred in Sorrento Valley on the 6200 block of Carroll Road on Friday, according to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) Watch Commander's Log. A head-on crash involved two vehicles, resulting in severe injuries to multiple parties and the determination that drug impairment was a contributing factor.

The incident unfolded when a 26-year-old man driving a 2020 Toyota 86 eastbound failed to navigate a curve and veered into the opposing lane, colliding with a 2012 Toyota 4Runner driven by a 52-year-old male. The younger driver sustained fractures to his legs, pelvic area, and left arm as a result of the impact. The 4Runner driver and a passenger both endured significant injuries, including fractured spines and other serious trauma. Another passenger sustained fractured ribs and internal bleeding, according to the SDPD Traffic Division's report. Drug impairment on the part of the Toyota 86 driver was identified as a factor in the collision.

The SDPD Traffic Division, handling the investigation, responded to the scene. They have yet to release further details regarding the condition of the victims or the specifics of the drug impairment factor. The collision prompted a significant emergency response and investigation into the circumstances that led to this high-impact crash.
