A 46-year-old blind man standing on the corner of a Costa Mesa intersection was injured after two cars crashed and trapped him between them, according to a news report.
Costa Mesa police said that the 76-year-old driver of a Toyota Sequoia turned in front a 21-year-old man driving a Honda Civic at the intersection of 17th Street and Santa Ana Ave. Both vehicles spun out of control and the Civic rolled onto the pedestrian victim. He was temporarily trapped between the car and some posts, but was freed by firefighters and taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana with injuries that he is expected to survive.
Both drivers were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
