A 27-year-old woman was injured in a chain reaction crash on the 55 freeway that also involved Angels outfielder Mike Trout, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that a Chevrolet Sonic and a GMC Suburban were stopped because of another accident on the southbound 55 freeway when Trout’s Mercedes Benz hit the left rear of the Sonic. The Sonic then spun and crashed into the Suburban before hitting a fence.
An unidentified woman driving the Sonic was taken to a local hospital with major injuries. Trout and the Suburban driver were not injured. The CHP said that all three drivers cooperated with investigators and they do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash.
