A 16-year-old driver and 21-year-old driver are in the hospital following a head-on late-night crash Friday.
The crash happened at approximately 10:34 p.m. Friday on State Route 67 in Poway where a 16-year-old man with a provisional driver’s license was driving with another 16-year-old in his 2013 Kia Optima. The teens were driving southbound on State Route 67.
The 21-year-old, driving north on SR 67, was heading toward Ramona in his 2015 Honda Civic.
The 16-year-old driver swerved and crossed into the northbound lane after he lost control of his car, he told San Diego Sheriff’s deputies.
The Kia crashed head-on into the Honda.
The 16-year-old was taken to Palomar Hospital with possible rib and facial injuries. The 21-year-old suffered facial and torso injuries and was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital.
Sheriff’s deputies said the collision does not appear to be alcohol or drug related.
