SAN DIEGO, CA (October 3, 2019) — A man sustained severe head injuries after a pedestrian crash on Rosecrans Street on Tuesday, October 1.
 
San Diego police Officer John Buttle stated that the accident occurred just before 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Rosecrans Street and Laning Road.
 
A 55-year-old man drove a 2019 Ford Fusion on Laning Road in the right turn lane to Rosecrans Street. At the same time, a 60-year-old man tried to cross Rosecrans Street eastbound in the crosswalk.

Paramedics brought the 60-year-old victim to a hospital for treatment of life-threatening head trauma. An update on his condition was not immediately released.
