A 17-year-old teen speeding in a 2010 Toyota Camry was killed in a three-vehicle accident in San Diego’s Linda Vista community, which also left five others with serious and life-threatening injuries, a police officer said Saturday.
A 17-year-old boy driving a 2008 Nissan Altima was driving west on the 2700 block of Genesee Avenue when the Toyota sped past the Nissan around 11 p.m. on Friday, made an unsafe left movement and swept the Nissan aside, said agent Robert. Heims of the San Diego Police Department.
The Toyota Camry continued westward and collided with a 2020 Mazda 3 driven by a 21-year-old woman driving east on the 2,700 block of Genesee Avenue, Heims said.
The 17-year-old boy in the Toyota was pronounced dead in a local hospital. Two of his three passengers were seriously injured, Heims said.
The driver of the Nissan and his two passengers only had pain. The driver of the 2010 Mazda 3 and her two passengers suffered life-threatening injuries, he said.
Anyone with information about the crash was urged to call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
