An unidentified man was seriously injured when he was hit by his own car following a four-car collision on the southbound I-5 freeway in Santa Ana.
The California Highway Patrol said that a chain-reaction crash began when a Toyota Tundra traveling south on I-5 was rear-ended by a Toyota Camry. The impact pushed the Tundra into the next lane, where it was hit by a BMW. The BMW driver got out of his vehicle to check on the Tundra driver when a Nissan trying to avoid the crash ran into the BMW and pushed it into the victim.
The BMW driver was taken to a local hospital with major injuries. The CHP urged motorists to stay in their vehicles following a freeway collision, noting that if the vehicle can be driven, it should be moved to the right shoulder or another safe location.
