2 People Injured in Hit-and-Run Collision on 78 Freeway [San Marcos, CA]

San Marcos, CA (March 05, 2022) On Thursday, 2 people were seriously hurt in a hit-and-run collision on 78 Freeway.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) says that the freeway crash happened near Nordahl Road just before 9 p.m.

Authorities arrested 19-year-old Matthew Gibbs of Escondido on Friday on suspicion of felony hit and run and other charges after a rollover crash.

Reports say that Gibbs was on a Honda Civic that suddenly veered left into the Toyota Yaris driven by a 38-year-old Valley Center woman.

Consequently, the impact caused Toyota to veer out of control and overturn.

Rescuers arrived on the scene and found a 38-year-old woman and her 16-year-old female passenger injured.

Gibbs was booked into county jail in Vista on suspicion of felony hit-and-run.

When driving, it is always important to pay attention to your surroundings. This, and abiding by all the driving laws as well as following all the road signs are simple ways to practice defensive driving.

The perverse actions of a reckless driver can increase the likelihood of traffic collisions.

This is a powerful reminder to always pay close attention to drivers around you. Constantly keep a considerable distance from others just in case harm is near.

Ultimately, defensive driving can lessen the chance of serious San Diego road accidents.
