A 34-year-old woman was injured in a collision with a deputy from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department's Imperial Beach Substation Wednesday in San Diego.
The collision occurred at around 5:16 P.M. at the intersection of Coronado Avenue and Hollister Street, according to Sgt. Robert Posada.
The sheriff's department said their deputy was headed to a "priority emergency call" in a department patrol vehicle with lights and siren on. The deputy then came to a full stop in the eastbound lane of Coronado Avenue and Hollister Street.
After checking for opposing traffic, according to SDSO, the deputy entered the intersection. That's when the woman, driving a white Ford Mustang coupe, entered the intersection from the Interstate 5 off-ramp, the sheriff's department said.
