Car Accident Near Orange County Fair Causes Injuries

A two car accident occurred near the Orange County Fair causing one of the vehicles involved to flip, resulting in injuries to the parties involved. The accident occurred on the 55-freeway in Costa Mesa, at the exit for the Orange County Fair Grounds. Traffic was already congested due to the many visitors to the Orange County Fair, and the accident caused significant further delays as roadside crews and medical personnel worked hard to clean the results from the accident.

The accident occurred in the afternoon when a Chevrolet SUV collided with a Ford truck, which caused the Ford truck to flip onto its side. A SigAlert was issued during the massive traffic delays. The injured parties were taken to a local area hospital for evaluation and treatment of their injuries, which are serious but do not appear to be life-threatening.

Vehicle roll-overs are not a rare occurrence when it comes to accidents involving SUV’s or certain trucks. Even with safety-belts, roll-over accidents can cause serious injuries including broken bones, injured spine, and head injuries. Passengers that are not wearing safety-belts are at an even greater risk to suffer injuries as they can be thrown from, and ejected from the vehicle.
