One man sustained moderate injuries and another man was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI after a two-car collision on westbound 91 just east of Knott in Buena Park.
According to a news report, a crash involving a 2003 Porsche and a 2005 Nissan Altima blocked three lanes of westbound 91 traffic for almost an hour. The driver of the Porsche — Yechiel Farzan, 30, of Torrance – was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. The driver of the Nissan Altima – 59-year-old Errol Barriere of Corona – had to be removed from his vehicle by firefighters, and was taken to Western Medical Center in Anaheim with moderate injuries.
