Two killed, three injured in Midway District crash

Two people were killed and three others were injured in the Midway District when a pickup hit a median, went airborne and landed on a minivan the night of May 7, San Diego police said.

The crash was reported shortly after 9 p.m. at the intersection of Rosecrans Street and Sports Arena Boulevard, police said.
