La Jolla, CA (January 28, 2026) – Emergency radio communications reported that a 37-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a trauma center Monday morning following injuries from a freeway collision near Gilman Dr. in La Jolla. She was riding as a passenger in a small crossover SUV moving at highway speeds when another vehicle hit the passenger side. Both doors on that side were damaged, although the intrusion into the cabin was reported as less than one foot. The door was stuck but not severely buckled inward. She was wearing a full restraint during the crash and remained conscious without striking her head. However, she started having abdominal pain and right shoulder discomfort, thought to stem from seatbelt pressure. Paramedics observed that she is six months pregnant with a diagnosed low-lying placenta, with no additional issues identified in her routine prenatal checkups. Her vital signs were stable at the scene, and there were no reports of injuries to the head, neck, or back. Medic 56 transported her directly to the UC San Diego trauma unit as a special consideration patient due to her pregnancy and the impact’s nature. The crash is still under investigation, with no details released about the other vehicle or driver. We wish the injured woman and her unborn child a safe and full recovery.
