An 87-year-old man was hospitalized Saturday with serious injuries after he was involved in a two-vehicle collision in the Morena area.

San Diego Police responded at 5:14 p.m. Friday to the 6000 block of Friars Road where they learned the victim, who was driving a 2017 Infinity, attempted to make a left turn onto Friars Road from Gaines Street and struck a 2008 Toyota 4Runner being driven by a 27-year-old man traveling west on Friars.

Officer J. Perales said the older man suffered fractures to his back, facial injuries and internal bleeding. The younger man complained of pain in his lower back and nose, and a passenger in the Infinity complained of pain in the chest, shoulder and hip, Perales said.

Alcohol was not a factor in the collision, Perales said.

The department’s traffic division is investigating the collision and anyone with information was asked to call 858-495-7800 or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888- 580-8477.
