Two women have been injured after their car crashed into a fire hydrant in Rancho Santa Margarita, according to a news report.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department said that a Mini Cooper driven by a 19-year-old woman was driving south on Antonio Parkway in Rancho Santa Margarita when she hit a fire hydrant on the sidewalk just south of Tijeras Creek. The car then crashed through a nearby guardrail and traveled 100 feet down a dirt embankment.
The woman and her 20-year-old female passenger were taken to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo with moderate injuries. An investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
