Six children and two adults have been hospitalized after being involved in an SUV rollover crash on highway 60 in Chino, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol reported that a 52-year-old woman from Los Angeles was driving with her 49-year-old sister and six grandchildren ages one to five on highway 60 in Chino when the tire on their Ford Expedition separated, causing the SUV to roll over.
Witnesses reported that one child was thrown from the SUV, which rolled over onto it side, pinning the driver’s arm until passersby stopped and rolled the vehicle back over to free her arm.
All eight people were taken to Chino High School, and were then airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center. None of their injuries were believed to be life-threatening.
