Oceanside Crash Sends Two to Hospital

Two people are in the hospital after a car crashed into multiple fences and landed upside down on the sidewalk in Oceanside, police said.

Shortly after 7:00 p.m. Sunday, police said a man was heading eastbound on North Avenue when his silver SUV smashed through a backyard fence near North and Temple Heights Drive.

The impact was enough to throw a concrete post near the sidewalk across the yard.

A man was taken by air to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla with major injuries. The passenger also suffered major injuries.

Police said speed and alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.

Residents in the area said speeding was an issue on the road.

โ€œThe worst fear is that the fence isnโ€™t going to stop it,โ€ said neighborhood resident Mary Beth Patrick. โ€œSomething big is going to come tearing through there and itโ€™s just not going to stop it.โ€

The identity of the driver is not being released at this time, police said.
