A head-on crash involving a car and a Sycuan Casino bus in Dehesa Tuesday left the car’s driver with major injuries and in danger of losing a leg, while two people on the bus suffered minor injuries.
A 28-year-old Alpine man, whose name was not immediately released, was driving a 2008 Chrysler 300 west on Dehesa Road west of the Sycuan Casino at about 40-45 mph when he drifted over the double-yellow line and into the path of the bus about 6:40 a.m., according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kevin Pearlstein.
Pearlstein said the 55-year-old El Cajon woman driving the eastbound 2012 International 35-passenger bus had no time to react, and the two vehicles collided and came to a stop blocking the roadway.
