SAN DIEGO (CNS) - An 80-year-old woman was seriously injured when she ran a red light and her car was broadsided by another vehicle in San Diego's San Carlos neighborhood, police said Friday.
The crash occurred at 7:48 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of Jackson Drive and Navajo Road. The woman was driving a white 2015 Honda Civic north in the 7400 block of Jackson Drive when she drove through a "stale red light," according to the San Diego Police Department.

Paramedics transported the woman to a hospital with a displaced hip and a fractured tibia and fibula. Police did not report any injuries for the 36-year-old driver.
