Woman Seriously Injured in 4S Ranch Crash Into Center Median: Police

San Diego, CA — A 72-year-old woman suffered life-threatening injuries Tuesday in the 4S Ranch area when she drove onto a center median and struck a concrete block, police said.

The single-vehicle crash was reported at 2:42 p.m. at Carmel Valley Road and Winecreek Road in Black Mountain Ranch, according to San Diego police Sgt. Tom Sullivan.

Prior to colliding with the median, the woman was seen traveling eastbound on Carmel Valley Road, the sergeant said.

"Witnesses stated she had been driving erratically for several blocks," Sullivan said.
