This morning, a serious accident took place in Mountain View, San Diego, which resulted in critical injuries to a young woman. The San Diego Police Department Watch Commander, Officer S. Foster, reported that at around 2:35 AM, a 21-year-old male, while driving a 2009 Honda Accord, failed to obey the traffic signal at the Interstate 805 and Imperial Avenue intersection.
According to the San Diego Police Department, the driver took the off-ramp and, without stopping at the red light, proceeded to jump the center median and collided with a traffic signal light cabinet. The impact of the crash caused an 18-year-old female passenger, who was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt, to be thrown forward violently enough to strike the front windshield.
The aftermath of the collision had left the young woman in an extremely precarious state, as she was transported to an area hospital with a brain bleed and is currently listed in critical condition.
The SDPD's Traffic units have promptly responded and are now thoroughly investigating this incident, piecing together the events that led up to the tragedy. They are actively seeking anyone with information to come forward and assist in their efforts, urging individuals to call the Command handling the investigation or to contact Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
