San Diego, CA (January 30, 2026) – Two men were injured in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday night along Fifth Ave in San Diego’s Hillcrest area. The collision prompted a dual-hospital response and required care from multiple emergency units.
The incident occurred on the evening of January 29, with emergency crews arriving at the scene shortly before 8:40 p.m. Initial reports confirmed that both vehicles were occupied by adult male drivers, each of whom sustained minor injuries in the crash.
Paramedics evaluated the drivers at the scene and determined that transport was necessary for further evaluation. One individual was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital, while the other was transported to UCSD Medical Center. Both men were reportedly wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident, which likely reduced the severity of their injuries.
The exact cause of the collision has not been disclosed, and no additional passengers were reported to be involved. Traffic along Fifth Ave was temporarily affected as crews worked to manage the scene and clear the vehicles.
We wish both individuals a full and quick recovery following Wednesday night’s accident.
