A 19-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries Saturday when he lost control of his Honda Civic and crashed into an oncoming Honda Accord.<\/p>\n
The crash was reported at 12:19 a.m. in the 15000 block of Carmel Valley Road, according to San Diego Police Officer David O’Brien.<\/p>\n
The man was driving eastbound on Carmel Valley Road at a high rate of speed when the car drifted to the right onto the south sidewalk, he lost control and went across the eastbound lanes onto the center median, O’Brien said.<\/p>\n
After crashing into a tree, the Civic continued into westbound lanes where it crashed into the Accord driven by an 18-year-old man, the officer said.<\/p>\n
The Civic driver was ejected from his car, suffering life-threatening brain injuries and several fractures, O’Brien said. Both drivers were taken to hospitals by ambulance.<\/p>\n
Alcohol was a factor in the crash, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 19-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries Saturday when he lost control of his Honda Civic and crashed into…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":170454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,8046,3549,3550,22509,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-170453","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-car-crash","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-san-diego-county","14":"tag-san-diego-police-department","15":"tag-sandiego","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115080997387087483","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
