Driver Arrested in Solo Vehicle Crash in Tustin
Tustin, CA (May 8, 2022) – On Friday, at 2 a.m., a female passenger sustained injuries while the authorities arrested the driver in a fiery crash on La Loma Drive.
Officers say the vehicle appeared to be traveling at a fast speed when the collision happened. It jumped a curb, struck a mailbox, turned upside down, and plowed into the front corner of a Tustin home.
A young woman and her nearly 90-year-old grandmother reside in the house. Luckily, neither of them was seriously hurt in the accident.
The young woman said she heard a woman screaming and a man saying, “We have to go! We have to go!”
Samuel An, a neighbor who helped the occupants out of the car said “there was a lady trapped in there. She was actually trapped by her pants, so I pulled her out, and then another gentleman came out after that”.
Moreover, the car occupants were able to get out of their vehicle before the car started a fire.
“We immediately began extinguishing the vehicle fire and checking for occupants both in the vehicle and in the house,” he said.
Later on, the authorities arrested the man who was in the car while the paramedics took the woman to the hospital with non-serious injuries.
Additionally, this is a powerful reminder to always pay close attention to drivers around you. Constantly keep a considerable distance from others just in case harm is near.
