Three people have been injured in a head-on collision involving two suspected drunk drivers in Newport Beach, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that the driver of a Toyota Camry was traveling north on the southbound side of the 73 toll road in Newport Beach and collided head-on with a Honda Civic in the No. 1 lane. A male passenger was ejected from one of the cars; the female Camry driver and the male Civic driver were trapped in their vehicles.
The two drivers were freed from the wreckage by the Newport Beach Fire Department. All three people were taken to local trauma centers for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. CHP officials said that both drivers will be arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
