In a preliminary report, SAPD said the 29-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the sign.
The overhead traffic sign could be seen partially collapsed in nearby Transguide camera footage.
The driver of the car that was cut off was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. SAPD’s report does indicate whether the other vehicle stayed at the scene.
The crash closed the highway for more than five hours Saturday, but it has since reopened.
