SAN DIEGO, CA – We posted yesterday about a three-vehicle crash that left one dead and three others injured. Some new information has been released. According to FOX 5 San Diego, the victim in the crash was a 58-year-old man. He was killed when a 20-year-old driving southbound on Genesse Avenue veered into the oncoming traffic and slammed head-on into the 58-year-old’s car. The 58-year-old then sideswiped a third vehicle. 

Emergency responders declared the 58-year-old dead at the scene of the accident. The 48-year-old victim sustained sternal and spinal fractures, as well as several cuts and bruises. The 20-year-old suffered a broken leg, broken nose, an orbital fracture, and a right lung contusion. Both motorists were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Police are investigating as to why the 20-year-old veered into the oncoming traffic. They say that they do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash.
