SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Scary moments in Del Mar when a vehicle jumped a curb and went into a crowded park, injuring two people on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
San Diegans enjoying a day at Powerhouse Park along Coast Blvd in Del Mar saw a vehicle drive over a curb, into a sign, through bushes, landing in the park around 2:15 p.m. on Sunday, hitting and injuring two people.
Witnesses say crowds of people were enjoying the nice day when they heard a sign crack, then screams, as people rolled out of the way.
