SAN MARCOS, CA (August 16, 2020) – An 84-year-old man and a 77- year-old woman suffered serious injuries in a crash on San Elijo Road on Sunday morning.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision happened near Schoolhouse Way at approximately 9:22 AM.
 
Based on a report, the elderly man was driving a 2017 Toyota Prius with the elderly woman as his passenger. Due to speed, he was unable to make a right turn onto San Elijo Road. Consequently, he continued through the intersection and briefly drove westbound in the eastbound lane.
