SANTEE, Calif. — One driver was airlifted to the hospital, and another rushed to the hospital by ambulance after a crash in Santee early Wednesday morning.
It happened at Prospect and Magnolia just after 6:00 a.m.
A nearby surveillance camera captured the accident, showing the moment the pick-up truck and car collided.
San Diego Sheriff's Deputies are investigating the crash. The intersection remained shut down as of 11:00 a.m.

Santee firefighters rescued the driver of the car, carefully removing him from the vehicle and putting him on a stretcher. He was airlifted to a nearby trauma center.
