An 18-year-old man was seriously injured Wednesday in the Jamacha Lomita neighborhood after his car crashed into another vehicle while failing to stop at a stop sign, according to San Diego police.

At 12:15 a.m. Wednesday, the man was driving a Toyota Camry southbound on 700 Cardiff St., SDPD Officer D. O’Brien said. A 20-year-old man was driving a Tesla Model Y eastbound on 8400 San Vicente Street.

“The Toyota failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection with San Vicente Street,” O’Brien said. “The Toyota collided with the driver’s side of the Tesla at the intersection.”

The driver of the Toyota suffered a broken hip and a laceration to the head, the trooper said. He was taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver and passengers of the Tesla were not injured.

The SDPD Traffic Division responded and conducted the investigation.
