Vista, CA : One person injured in rollover crash on state Route 78 in Vista on Sunday, December 7, 2014
A rollover crash on state Route 78 in Vista today sent a motorist to a hospital and prompted authorities to temporarily close half of the eastbound freeway lanes.
The crash was shortly after 11:30 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near Melrose Drive. It involved up to four vehicles, one of which -- a white SUV --
rolled several times and may have taken out a call box, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Fire officials closed two freeway lanes following the crash, but had reopened one by around 12:15 p.m., authorities said.
One person involved in the crash was taken to a hospital to be treated, a North County fire dispatcher said. The severity of that motorist's injuries was not immediately known.
