A man slammed into a parked truck in front of a home in El Cajon Wednesday night to allegedly avoid another driver who was going the wrong way in his lane, California Highway Patrol officials said.
The crash happened around 11:40 p.m. at Pepper Drive and Somerlane Street.
CHP Officer Brian Pennings said there were no witnesses to the crash, but the driver claimed he saw a wrong-way driver and swerved to avoid an even bigger collision.
He wound up plowing through some wooden fencing and crashing into a parked truck in the driveway of a home.
Pennings said the driver was taken to a local hospital with unspecified injuries.
He said the crash is under investigation and there is no information on the alleged wrong-way vehicle. Pennings said investigators were also working to determine whether alcohol or drugs may have contributed to the collision.
