Ten people were injured on the northbound I-5 in San Clemente after an inattentive driver crashed into the back of another vehicle, setting off a multi-car chain reaction crash, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that they believe the crash was caused by the inattention of the driver of a Dodge who did not brake for slowing traffic and rear-ended a Nissan ahead of him. The crash pushed the Nissan into an adjacent lane, where it hit a Mercedes.
The driver and five passengers in the Nissan were injured; two suffered serious injuries, two had moderate injuries and two had minor injuries. The four occupants of the Dodge were also injured and taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange for treatment. The driver of the Mercedes was not injured.
