A man has been injured after a big-rig flipped over onto his Nissan Xterra on an eastbound 22 freeway connector, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol reported that the big-rig was traveling in the No. 1 lane of an eastbound 22 connector to the northbound 57 freeway when its left wheel lifted off the pavement, flipping the big-rig onto a Nissan Xterra traveling in the adjacent lane. The Xterra driver was trapped in his vehicle for more than an hour while Orange County firefighters worked to free him with the Jaws of Life.
According to social media postings, the Xterra driver was identified as Chris Turk, owner of H2O Live Aquarium Foods in Las Vegas. He was taken to a local hospital where he is reported to be in stable condition.
