A driver crashed into a vehicle driven by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection employee in City Heights Wednesday.
The head-on collision occurred on Fairmont Avenue near Thorn just before 5 a.m. and involved an unmarked Immigration Customs and Enforcement vehicle, according to San Diego police.
SDPD Lt. Charles Lara said a group of ICE officers in unmarked vehicles were driving southbound on Fairmont.
At the same moment, a 52-year-old woman was driving northbound and crossed over the center median traveling at approximately 30 mph, Lara said.
The two vehicles collided head-on.
Lara said the ICE officer was complaining of pain to the neck and was going to be treated at a nearby medical facility.
San Diego police were evaluating the civilian driver to see if she was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
