A driver stepped out of his car after an accident on a San Diego area highway and was struck by an oncoming car.
California Highway Patrol officers shut down the connector from eastbound State Route 94 to the northbound State Route 125 around 3:20 a.m. after the man was injured.
The man was rushed to a nearby hospital in what’s described as critical condition. CHP officials say the victim was driving under the influence.
A tow truck was brought in to remove a vehicle that had landed on the other side of the concrete barrier.
