SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Two motorists were injured Tuesday afternoon, one fatally, in a head-on collision in Mission Valley.

One of the drivers, believed to have been in his mid-60s, died at the scene of the crash, Officer John Buttle said. Paramedics took the other motorist, who was described as "elderly," to a hospital for treatment of injuries of undisclosed severity.

The accident forced a closure of the roadway in the area into the late afternoon, Buttle said.
