32-Year-Old Motorist Seriously Injured in Kensington Multi-Car Collision [San Diego, CA]

San Diego, CA (April 08, 2022) On Wednesday evening, a multi-car collision in San Diego’s Kensington neighborhood injured 3 people.

The San Diego Police (SDPD) says the multi-vehicle accident happened just after 10 p.m. near 4800 Fairmount Avenue.

Police say that a 31-year-old man trying to merge into another northbound lane hit the back of another vehicle causing the other driver to lose control.

Moreover, the 2nd vehicle crashed into the center median of the southbound lane, then a 57-year-old female driver on a 3rd vehicle struck the 2nd vehicle.

Meanwhile, the 1st vehicle crashed into a parked construction vehicle.

Reports say that the 2nd vehicle’s 32-year-old driver sustained major injuries, including a fractured pelvis, lacerated liver, and kidney.

Additionally, a 65-year-old male passenger on the female motorist vehicle sustained a fractured sternum.

The driver of the 1st vehicle complained of pain as well.

Officers are investigating the probable cause of the crash, but they have ruled out DUI as a factor.

Crash rates in California continue to increase, rather than decrease, despite the additional safety features on newer vehicle models.

It is important to always pay attention to your surroundings whenever driving. This, and abiding by all the driving laws as well as following all the road signs are simple ways to practice defensive driving. Defensive driving can lessen the chance of serious road accidents happening.
