One person was killed and four others injured in a crash in northern Orange County on the Santa Ana (5) Freeway near the 91 Freeway interchange Saturday night.
The crash was first reported to the California Highway Patrol at 7:11 p.m. on the northbound 5 Freeway just north of Magnolia Avenue, near the borders of Anaheim, Fullerton and Buena Park.
Witnesses told the CHP a white SUV was being driven recklessly before the collision with a dark-colored SUV, which caused both vehicles to roll over and caused the white SUV to go over a guardrail.
One person was pronounced dead at the scene and four trauma patients were taken by ambulance to hospitals, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Sean Doran told City News Service.
Caltrans closed all lanes but the HOV lane on the northbound Santa Ana Freeway and traffic was diverted onto the westbound Riverside (91) Freeway and the Magnolia Avenue off-ramp.
