Two motorists survived a head-on crash on Interstate 8 early Sunday after the California Highway Patrol received reports of a wrong-way driver on Interstate 5.
A caller informed the CHP about an unknown vehicle going southbound in the northbound lanes near Sea World Drive on I-5, according to OnScene.TV.
A few minutes later, at 2:19 a.m., they learned of a wreck on westbound I-8 near Taylor Street. On arrival, first responders found a black BMW sedan along with a silver Honda sedan that had collided head-on.
The driver of the Honda was extricated from the vehicle and transported with serious injuries to a trauma center. The driver of the BMW suffered apparently minor injuries.
It is unknown if one of the cars contained the wrong-way driver. The CHP is investigating the incident as a DUI.
