One man was hospitalized and unconscious and a second suffered a broken ankle after a likely DUI crash Monday in the Mission Bay area.

The 34-year-old driver of the Mercedes was traveling with a 28-year-old passenger when the car struck a curb on the West Mission Bay Drive ramp from Sea World Drive around 5:30 p.m., according to the San Diego Police Department.

The driver suffered a broken ankle. His passenger was transported to a hospital with a broken leg and had not regained consciousness as of three hours after the accident, police said.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing, but police believe DUI is a factor.

Police did not immediately identify the driver and his passenger.
