Less than a week after a pitbull attack in Concord killed a 2-year-old boy, another toddler has died from dog bite injuries, this time in San Diego. The toddler who died from the recent dog bite injuries was also a 2-year-old.

The boy was upstairs in a bedroom, accompanied by one or more of his siblings, whose ages range between 3 and 7 years old. Their mother was downstairs during the family dog attack, and their father, a serviceman, is currently deployed.

Preceding the dog attack, for the six months that the family has owned the dog, there reportedly were no problems. The dog is a shepherd mix that is 1 and ½ years old.

A car accident in Jamul has reportedly killed at least one, authorities have reported. The car accident took place around 1:00 in the morning on Friday, on the north side of the city.

The crash involved either two or three vehicles, according to conflicting reports. The vehicles were driving on Skyline Truck Trail when they crashed into one another, near the intersection with Hidden Trail Drive. As of yet, none of the drivers have been determined to be at fault.

The driver who slammed his brakes was ejected from his vehicle, but died before paramedics arrived at the scene. It is unknown if other injuries were involved in the Jamul car accident.
