A two-month-old baby was among five people injured when a Nissan Altima collided with a sanitation truck in Santa Ana, according to a news report.
Santa Ana police said that an Altima with two women and two children aboard was traveling west on First Street when it collided with a Diamond Environmental Services septic truck that was traveling south on Euclid. Investigators said that they believe one of the vehicles ran a red light at the intersection of First and Euclid, but were waiting to view footage from the red light camera to determine the cause of the collision.
The two-month-old girl was hospitalized with serious injuries and a two-year-old boy was treated at the scene. The two women were taken to local hospitals with unknown injuries; the truck driver suffered potential broken ribs and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
