VINCENT - The at-fault driver who reportedly made an unsafe exit onto Arrow Highway was airlifted to a trauma center after being extricated from his vehicle, the California Highway Patrol said.

The crash occurred in the 800 block of Arrow Highway March 7 around 2:20 p.m. in Unincorporated Azusa.

The driver, listed as a 32-year-old Azusa man, exited south in a Honda Accord from a 7-Eleven driveway onto Arrow and in the path of another driver, according to Officer Rodrigo Jimenez of the California Highway Patrol Baldwin Park Office.

The 19-year-old driver of a Lexus IS 250 swerved, but still crashed into the left side of the Honda, Jimenez told SGV CityWatch.

Firefighters extricated the Honda driver and he was transported by helocopter to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, a level 1 trauma center.

Due to his injuries, the Honda driver has yet to face charges, Jimenez told SGV CityWatch.

The driver of the Lexus was relatively uninjured.
