WESTMINSTER, Calif. — Four people were injured when their vehicles collided near Westminster Boulevard and Olive Avenue around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, authorities said.
Fortunately, the collision occurred in front of a fire station, Orange County Fire Authority station 64, and the paramedics inside were ready to roll.
“Some of the guys who were up heard a loud explosion,” Battalion Chief Tracy McClelland said.
They ran outside and saw that two vehicles, a white car and a black van, had collided, and the car was on fire.
The car’s driver and a passenger got out on their own as firefighters rushed to extinguish the blaze.
Four adults, two from each vehicle, were taken to hospitals as trauma patients, but were alert and talking to paramedics, McClelland said.
No citations had been issued or arrests made as of 7:45 a.m. Investigators were still working to determine the cause of the collision.
