SAN DIEGO (CNS) - An 18-year-old man was seriously injured in the Jamacha Lomita neighborhood Wednesday when his vehicle crashed into another vehicle when he failed to stop for a stop sign, according to the San Diego Police Department.

At 12:15 a.m. Wednesday the man was driving a Toyota Camry southbound on 700 Cardiff St., SDPD Officer D. O'Brien said. A 20-year-old man was driving a Tesla Model Y eastbound on 8400 San Vicente Street.
