A man was taken to the hospital by medical helicopter Wednesday after a destructive car crash that shut down a busy intersection in Santee.
The crash, which involved a sedan and a truck, happened shortly before 6 a.m. at the intersection of Magnolia and Prospect avenues. Surveillance cameras at a nearby business captured video of the impact, which showed the truck partially climbing the sedan during the crash.
A video showed a fire crew removing the driver from the sedan and onto a stretcher, then placing him in an ambulance for immediate medical attention. Shortly thereafter, the driver was placed in a medical helicopter to be transported to a hospital.
The extent of the injuries to the drivers involved in the crash is unclear. The cause of the incident is also under investigation.
