Driver Seriously Injured In Crash Into San Diego City Water Truck

SAN DIEGO, CA – A motorist suffered serious injuries Thursday in a crash at a Bay Terraces intersection, authorities reported.

The 28-year-old man was headed east on Paradise Valley Road in a flatbed truck about noon, towing a trailer, when he rear-ended a city water- department vehicle that was stopped in a left-turn lane at Gilmartin Drive, according to San Diego police.

Medics took him to a hospital for treatment of significant but non- life-threatening leg injuries and internal trauma, Officer Steve Bourasa said.

The wreck left the municipal employee behind the wheel of the city truck with minor injuries, Bourasa said.
