A suspected drunken driver was arrested Monday morning after a five-vehicle crash on Interstate 15 in the Rancho Penasquitos area that left one person hospitalized with major injuries, authorities said.
A second patient was also taken to Palomar Medical Center to be treated for what were described as minor injuries following the crash, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Alec Phillipp said.
The collision involving a Hyundai sedan, Volkswagen sedan, Ford sedan, Cadillac SUV and another vehicle was reported shortly before midnight Sunday on northbound I-15 south of Carmel Mountain Road, California Highway Patrol Officer Tommy Doerr said.
The Hyundai driver, whose name was not immediately available, was arrested on suspicion of DUI, Doerr said.
