One person died and four others were injured when two cars collided on a Chula Vista thoroughfare Monday evening, a police official said.
The crash happened about 7:45 p.m. on Telegraph Canyon Road not far west of La Media Road, Chula Vista police Lt. Gino Grippo said.
The initial investigation indicates that a Ford Mustang was headed west on Telegraph Canyon when a Subaru started to turn in front of it at the intersection of Apache Drive, he said.
The two vehicles collided, and the Subaru overturned, Grippo said.
One of the occupants of the Subaru died at the scene. Grippo said three other people in the Subaru, including one who sustained life-threatening injuries, were transported to hospitals. The Mustang driver, who was the sole occupant of that vehicle, was also taken to a hospital.
Traffic division officers were called to the scene to investigate. A stretch of Telegraph Canyon Road was closed for the investigation.
No further information was immediately available.
