One man injured in two-vehicle collision at Highway 78
A San Diego man suffered injury during a collision between two pickup trucks at the intersection of Third Street and Highway 78 on Tuesday afternoon.
The man who complained of pain to his ribs on his left side was transported to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, said California Highway Patrol Officer Mike Ensign.
The accident occurred at about 2:50 p.m. while the injured man drove his black Nissan pickup on Third Street. As he was turning left onto Highway 78, his truck was struck by a white Dodge Ram 1500 pickup heading eastbound on Highway 78, Ensign said.
The Dodge Ram was driven by a Ramona man who had a dog riding in the car, but neither were injured. The Nissan contained a motorcycle in the bed of the truck.
