Four people – two adults and two children – were critically injured in a two-car crash on the southbound I-405 freeway, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol reported that two vehicles collided on the southbound I-405 freeway just south of Seal Beach Boulevard. The impact of the collision sent one vehicle rolling over onto a dirt embankment on the side of the interstate. Two adults in the rollover vehicle were taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange in critical condition; two children from the same vehicle were also in critical condition, and were transported to Miller Children’s Hospital in Long Beach.
A civilian with EMT training who stopped to help reported that the two children, both boys, had major head trauma and that the female adult was two months pregnant. The driver of the other vehicle was taken to Los Alamitos Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
