SAN DIEGO, CA (September 11, 2020) — A multi-vehicle crash at 70th Street and El Cajon Boulevard sent six people to a hospital Wednesday night.

Telling from evidence at the scene, investigators believe a 63-year-old man in a 2016 Mercedes E400 had suffered an unknown medical issue while traveling eastbound on El Cajon Boulevard.
