SAN DIEGO
Two people were hospitalized with serious injuries they suffered in a solo-vehicle rollover crash in the Point Loma Heights area Sunday night, police said.
The crash happened around 11:10 p.m. on Nimitz Boulevard near Voltaire Street, San Diego police Officer John Buttle said.
A 17-year-old girl was driving a 1999 Ford Explorer SUV northbound in the left lane when a passenger, an 18-year-old man, grabbed the steering wheel and moved it back and forth, Buttle said.
The driver was startled and turned the steering wheel hard to the right, causing the SUV to cross into the right lane and collide with a bridge abutment under Voltaire Street.

Two men were hospitalized with injuries from a crash in the Point Loma Heights neighborhood shortly after midnight Saturday.
An 18-year-old man was speeding southbound on Worden Street when he struck another car turning into the intersection from Polack Avenue, San Diego police Officer Tony Martinez said. The driver of that car, a 30-year-old man, had been traveling eastbound on Polack and had stopped at a stop sign before turning left on Worden, police said.
After the collision, one of the vehicles struck five other vehicles parked on the street. The teen driver sustained a lacerated liver, and his front seat passenger, a man in his 20s, was also injured with a fractured femur on his left leg. Both were transported to hospitals, Martinez said. The 30-year-old driver suffered scrapes and bruises and didn’t require hospitalization, he said.

Cesarina Mezzoni was only 20 years old when she and her husband, Niccolò Angius, made the decision to move to the United States in 2015 from their native home in Rome, Italy.
“It was an impulsive move,” Mezzoni said during a phone interview. “We liked the city, we liked the weather and so we decided to move here.”
Mezzoni is a self-taught chef whose Seychelles-born mother inspired her love of Italian cooking. Mezzoni’s mother learned traditional Roman dishes as a way of assimilating into the Italian culture. Her mother’s passion for Italian cooking rubbed off on her daughter.
