Homenews

Two people sustained minor injuries.

A car left the road and soared into the second floor of a dentist's office in Santa Ana, California on Sunday. Two people suffered minor injuries following the crash, which occurred at approximately half five in the morning. The car reportedly crossed three lanes before hitting a centre divider, causing it to fly through the air and land inside the two-storey building. The Orange County Fire Authority responded to the scene, later posting the incredible photographs on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OCFA_PIO/status/952550019420192769 https://twitter.com/OCFA_PIO/status/952552332327186432 https://twitter.com/OCFA_PIO/status/952563096534401024 Captain Stephen Horner of the Orange County Fire Authority said that a small fire was immediately extinguished. One of the people involved managed to get out, while the other was trapped inside for over an hour as authorities used a heavy piece of equipment to stabilise the wedged vehicle. A crane was later used to remove the car from the building. Both passengers were taken to hospital to receive treatment for their injuries.
