An 18-year-old driver and his two passengers suffered life-threatening injuries Tuesday when he lost control of a Honda Accord and crashed head-on into a Dodge Ram truck near the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
San Diego Police were dispatched at 4:12 p.m. to the 16000 block of San Pasqual Valley Road where they learned that a 54-year-old man was driving east in his Dodge Ram when the Honda crossed over double yellow lines and collided head-on.
