A 61-year-old woman was badly hurt Thursday in a broadside collision at a Mira Mesa intersection.

The crash occurred shortly before 10 a.m. when the 17-year-old driver of a westbound Subaru Impreza turned left from Mira Mesa Boulevard onto Greenford Drive directly in the path of an eastbound Audi A4 sedan, according to San Diego Police.

The victim was a passenger in the Subaru.

Paramedics took her to a hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries, Officer David O’Brien said.

No other injuries were reported.
