SAN MARCOS MAN INJURED IN DUI ACCIDENT

SAN MARCOS ---- Two people were injured early Sunday morning, including one who was arrested, in a suspected drunken driving crash in San Marcos, authorities said.

The single-vehicle collision was reported at 12:38 a.m. in the 900 block of East Mission Road, when the driver reportedly misjudged a curve in the roadway, causing him to crash his Nissan Sentra head-on into a tree, sheriff's deputy T.A. Bennetts said.

The collision trapped the car's passenger inside, Bennetts said. He had to be freed from the vehicle by firefighters, and was taken to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido for treatment of a broken leg and cuts to his lower lip, the deputy said.

The car's driver, Rafeal Zarate of San Marcos, was also taken to Palomar, Bennetts said. He was subsequently released and booked into the Vista jail on suspicion of felony driving under the influence.
