1 Killed, 3 Injured in Lakeside Car Accident
Two vehicles collided just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday where Post Hill Road meets State Route 67 in Lakeside.
One person was killed and three people were injured in a car crash on State Route 67 at Post Hill Road in Lakeside on November 10, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Morning Collision at Post Hill Road
The crash happened shortly before 9 a.m. A Toyota Prius was traveling east on Post Hill Road, and a Dodge Ram was heading south on State Route 67. The California Highway Patrol said the Prius driver, a 60-year-old San Diego man, attempted a left turn onto southbound State Route 67, and the right side of the Prius and the front of the Dodge then came together.
The Prius driver died at the scene. A 39-year-old woman who was a passenger in the Prius was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital with major injuries. Two male juveniles from the Prius were taken to Rady Children's Hospital, one with minor injuries and the other with major injuries. The 74-year-old Ramona man driving the Dodge was not hurt.
What the CHP Investigation Has Found So Far
The California Highway Patrol said investigators are still working to determine what caused the crash. Authorities said drugs and alcohol did not seem to be involved. The identity of the person who died has not been released. Southbound lanes of State Route 67 were closed near Post Hill Road for a time after the crash, while northbound lanes were not affected.
Investigators write down the weather, lighting and road surface after every serious crash. Recording those details is routine and does not point to any single cause.
