Military family seeking medical help crashes into barrier of Naval hospital

BALBOA PARK — 

A military family seeking medical treatment for their son Thursday evening crashed their Tesla into a security barrier at the entrance to Naval Medical Center San Diego in Balboa Park.

The incident was first reported just before 5 p.m. at the entrance gate on Bob Wilson Drive, according to Krishna Jackson, the Naval Base San Diego public affairs officer.

The Tesla’s driver drove through the gate but didn’t stop to check in. Security then erected a barrier, which the car struck.

It was unclear if the occupants were injured. “I’d imagine they’re pretty shook up,” Jackson said.

Jackson couldn’t disclose the boy’s medical situation, but said he received treatment at the hospital.

Military authorities are investigating the incident, Jackson said.
