Unlicensed Driver Injured In Poway Crash

POWAY, CA – A 36-year-old motorist who was badly injured in a crash at a Poway intersection had been driving without a license, a sheriff's sergeant said Friday.

The unlicensed driver was behind the wheel of a Jeep Liberty that collided with a Ford F-150 pickup truck on Midland Road at Hillery Place shortly after 8 p.m. Thursday.

The crash left her trapped in the wrecked Jeep, according to sheriff's Sgt. David Cheever. The Jeep's driver was later freed and was taken to Palomar Medical Center to be treated for what turned out to be serious injuries, Cheever said. The truck's driver was apparently unhurt.

Traffic at the intersection was blocked for a time while the damaged vehicles were removed and an investigation was underway, Cheever said.
