One Dead, One Hospitalized after Head-On Crash near Sunset Cliffs Boulevard
SAN DIEGO, CA (January 14, 2022) – Late Tuesday night, a woman died and a man sustained injuries in a wrong-way collision on Interstate 8.
The incident occurred around 11:24 p.m., on the westbound lanes of Interstate 8 near Sunset Cliffs Boulevard.
Reports indicate that a 24-year-old man from Sacramento was driving a blue Subaru Outback east on the westbound lanes. There, he eventually collided head-on with a gold Toyota Camry driven by a 54-year-old woman.
Due to the impact of the collision, responding officers pronounced the woman dead at the scene, and the medics rushed the man to a local hospital for further treatment.
