Logan Heights, Calif. – As a car accident lawyer, I’m always concerned when drivers lose control of their vehicles, especially when it leads to injuries and property damage. Early Thursday morning, a 21-year-old man suffered injuries in a crash in Logan Heights. The incident involved several parked cars and a power box.
Reports from FOX 5 San Diego inform that the incident occurred around 1:40 AM. This on the 3100 block of Ocean View Boulevard. The driver, who was behind the wheel of a red 2019 Chevrolet Malibu, lost control while traveling westbound.
The Malibu collided with a parked Toyota Tacoma, which then struck another parked car, a Hyundai Elantra. The Malibu continued off the roadway, hitting a power box and knocking it from its base, exposing live wires.
The driver of the Malibu suffered an open fracture to his lower right leg. Emergency responders transported him to a local hospital. His passenger was unharmed, and no one else was injured in the incident.
Authorities suspect that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. This is a reminder that driving under the influence is never acceptable and can have serious consequences.
