A driver was ejected and killed in a car crash in El Cajon Saturday morning, police said.
The collision happened about 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of Main Street and Avocado Boulevard, said El Cajon police Lt. Jason Taub.
The victim was driving a gray Volkswagen Beetle west on Main and appears to have run a red light, Taub said, based on witness accounts and a preliminary investigation of the scene. A burgundy Nissan was going north on Avocado on a green light and crashed into the Volkswagen in the intersection.
The Volkswagen driver was ejected onto the street, while the Nissan crashed into a power box attached to a restaurant, police said.

Last month, local authorities announced the state had proposed placing Douglas Badger at 10957 Horizon Hills Drive, a home on the northeast slope of Mount Helix, just outside El Cajon city limits.
Superior Court Judge Theodore Weathers did not decide Tuesday on the proposed placement, nor did he indicate when he would make the ruling.
