HUNTINGTON BEACH, California (Feb. 16, 2017) — Two people were injured and a suspected drunken driver was arrested Wednesday morning after two vehicles collided at the intersection of Edinger Avenue and Springdale Street, according to the Orange County Register.
The crash took place about 3:30 a.m. yesterday morning. The drivers of a gold Ford Ranger and a black Chrysler 200 were involved. The Chrysler, driven by Darius Roberts, 27, of Huntington Beach, was traveling south on Springdale Street when it allegedly hit the Ford as it traveled east on Edinger Avenue. The Chrysler continued moving southbound before it struck a power pole and knocked it down. Roberts was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI.
The 18-year-old woman driving the Ford was thrown out of the vehicle and suffered major injuries. Her male passenger was also hurt, but suffered minor injuries. The two were both taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.
