Car Crash: Family of 5 Rushed to Hospital

An Oso/Marguerite four-car crash sent five to the hospital Tuesday afternoon.

Two silver minivans collided at Oso and Marguerite in a four-car crash that sent six to the hospital Tuesday evening at rush hour.

A mother driving four children was sent to Mission Hospital for evaluation by a trauma doctor, said Orange County Fire Authority Captain Pablo Barriga. Two children riding with her were also sent by ambulance for a trauma evaluation at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana. A fourth child had minor injuries and was sent to Mission Hospital, Barriga said.

The male driver of the second minivan was also taken to Mission Hospital for a trauma evaluation, Barriga said.

Two other unknown vehicles were involved in the accident, which was caused by one vehicle running a red light, said Orange County Sheriff's Deputy G. Eggert.

I live close by. Spoke to one of the traffic officers. He thinks the airbags did their job. I hope he is right. Prayers to all involved. Traffic northbound Marguerite is out of hand.

Thanks for the update, Big Dee.

There was just another nasty crash near me here at Oso and Meandering Trail. Crash was at about 6:45 PM. Traffic is backed up east bound on Oso away from Antonio.

Thanks Charles. Know if traffic is blocked?

Folks, I just heard from OC Sheriff's Department Lt. Dan Dwyer. He said those injured are *not* facing life-threatening injuries, fortunately. He did not know the extent of their injuries beyond that. I've placed calls with other emergency officials to try to find out more.

The traffic lights are not bright enough into setting or rising sun. I've seen many red lights run - hope it isn't rude and impatient drivers. Too many kids around for recklessness.

My daughter was driving that car. She and her children will be well. (13 year old was boy was sitting up up front & stitches on his face; 10 year old son sustained no injuries. He was in the back of the the van. Daughter has one broken rib. All 3 taken to Mission Hospital.
Girls were taken to trauma center at Western Medicsl/Tustin. 13 year old sustained bruises. 10 year old has a broken arm. Both girls released today, Thursday. Gods grace was in this family. We are grateful for this and your concern.

Greg Raths announced for Congress

"As a Republican, he will go head to head with our current incumbant [sic]" Wait, areRead More there no other contenders? John Webb on the Republican side might run, and then there was that Irvine mayor Sukhee Kang fella, who finished second. The more the merrier. The more diversity in the views, even better. I would like to hear from contenders how they would vote differently on some of the votes the incumbents have cast. Because all too often we have "an independent minded Republican" or a "progressive reformer" or "Heck, I am BATMAN himself" only to have disappointing regurgitation of ideology of what should not be done ("low taxes", "freedom", "family values", "apple pie, motherhood"). Not what will be done. And until we have that, corporate monies shall determine our representative. I mean I can imagine Mr. Raths voting for the 45th time to repeal Obamacare, but seriously, which vote that John Campbell cast would be different if Mr. Raths were in office? If 90% of the positions are the same, it looks like a remarkable coincidence that an independent thinker is so like the incumbent, does it not? Mr. Raths did offer an 'independent' idea endorsing civil unions but not gay marriage. Cool. Is he going to sponsor a bill for civil unions? Or simply insist on enforcing DOMA because "sanctity of marriage", "religious liberty". How about H.R. 1797? How about the Gang of 8 bill on immigration if it passes the Senate and comes to the House? Will his vote be different than that of Mr. Campbell's? That is the key question. But again, I welcome Mr. Raths entry in the field, we need more variety, and if we cannot get that, we at least need more people willing to run. Good luck to you, sir.

Tom Thumb you didn't read section 1021(b)(2) closely enough. It wouldn't apply to those arming theRead More rebels because of the word "suspicion." We know they are arming the rebels. See the difference. 1021(b)(2) only applies to those we "suspect" like you. Notice how the word "reasonable" doesn't appear anywhere near "suspicion"? Hmmmm wonder why that would be. Section 1021(b)(2) seems to be the modern day "suspicion of lurking with intent."

Shoot, I don't know about that. What we are hearing now is Obama/McCain are pushing to arm theRead More rebels who are supporting and are part of Al Qaeda: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22095099

Hey Avery, I am totally stealing the "suspicion of lurking with intent" phrase. It mightRead More even flourish on reddit.
