One Hospitalized in Fiery Crash on Highway 18 [Running Springs, CA]

Running Springs, CA (January 14, 2022) – On Tuesday, the paramedics rushed a person to a hospital after a fiery crash on Highway 18.

The officers responded to the crash scene at 3:30 p.m. and found two vehicles with serious damages. 

They said that one vehicle was well consumed in flame while the other vehicle was catching fire with a victim trapped inside. 

Immediately, the firefighters stopped the flames and extricated the trapped victim. Then,  they took the victim to a nearby hospital via ambulance. 

Moreover, the other vehicle continued to catch on fire as oil and grease continued to re-ignite.

The authorities are still investigating the cause of the collision. 

Officers have not yet stated if the victim who lost control of his vehicle was under the influence or not. 

Aim high in steering, i.e. don’t make your steering adjustments based on what is directly in front of you, but rather what is down the road. If the road is winding to the right, for example, look as far into the turn as possible. This will improve your safety and make your turns smoother.
