Car Crashes Off of I-5 and Into Carlsbad Lagoon
A speeding truck going 96 mph and headed north on I-5, drove into a Carlsbad lagoon this morning. The 22-year-old driver swam to shore and was later arrested by California Highway Patrol for driving under the influence. You can learn more about this Carlsbad car accident in this San Diego Fox 6 story.
The truck was also carrying another young female in her 20s that was sitting in the passenger seat. She was thrown out of the truck when it wen through the guardrail and into the lagoon. The passenger was found unconscious and floating in the water by San Diego officials. She was taken to the hospital but there have been no reports on her condition.
Driving under the influence in San Diego County is not something you ever want to do, especially when carrying a passenger. It is bad enough that the driver placed her own life in danger but in this case she placed the life of her passenger in danger as well. We hope that the passenger will survive without any major injuries so that the guilt of this crash doesn't linger in the life of the driver.
