SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — A 3-year-old boy was injured Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle collision on California Highway 67 near south Oceanside’s Fire Mountain area, according to California Highway Patrol.

The accident occurred on the southbound highway north of Interstate 8 and was first reported by CHP at 4:00 p.m.

Details are limited, but authorities said a Ford F-150 pickup truck and a blue Nissan Altima were involved. Both vehicles came to rest in the roadway, blocking two right lanes.
