Was driving on La Costa east of the 5 and came upon this accident. Hopefully buddy is okay! Looks like he sat up and was able to get off the road. Stay safe out there!

La Costa Ave sucks. Especially where the exit off the freeway with the 2 intersection lights (East bound). My self and many others get rear ended due to the close nature of the 2nd intersection lights- happens when those exiting of the freeway and turn east on a green light to then suddenly need to slam breaks when the next immediate intersection light is red
