Woman Injured In Collision With Deputy In San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — A 34-year-old woman was injured in a collision with a deputy from the San Diego County Sheriffs' Department's Imperial Beach Substation Wednesday in San Diego.

The collision occurred at around 5:16 P.M. at the intersection of Coronado Avenue and Hollister Street, according to Sgt. Robert Posada.

The deputy was headed to a priority emergency call in a department patrol vehicle with lights and siren on when he came to a complete stop in the eastbound lane of Coronado Avenue and Hollister Street; and as he checked for opposing traffic, the woman, driving a white Ford Mustang coupe, entered the intersection from the San Diego (5) Freeway off ramp.

The patrol vehicle's front bumper/grill collided with the passenger side of the Ford Mustang. The driver, who complained of having back pain, was taken to a hospital for further assessment and treatment.

The deputy was not injured in the collision.

Neither alcohol or drugs was a factor with the collision, according to Posada.

The San Diego Police Department is investigating the collision.
