A motorcycle driver and his passenger were hospitalized Friday with serious injuries after colliding with a Dodge Charger at an Otay Mesa intersection.
San Diego Police Department Officer David O’Brien said the incident occurred Friday at 7:23 a.m. at 2000 Britannia Blvd. in Otay Mesa.
“A 25-year-old man driving a Dodge Charger was stopped for the red light on the eastbound State Route 905 off-ramp to Britannia Boulevard,” said O’Brien.
“A 27-year-old man and his 29-year-old male passenger were riding on a Italika FT 150 southbound on Britannia Boulevard. The Charger entered the intersection on a green light making a left turn onto northbound Britannia Boulevard. The motorcycle entered the intersection against the red light and collided with the left side of the Charger.”
O’Brien said the motorcycle rider sustained a fractured thighbone and his passenger suffered two fractured vertebrae. Both were transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.
The driver of the Charger, who was not identified, was uninjured.
The motorcyclist and his passenger were not identified.
“Alcohol was determined not to be a factor in the collision,” O’Brien said.
SDPD Traffic Division responded and is handling the continuing investigation.
