Five teens were injured Thursday in a suspected DUI-fueled collision between a car and two pedestrians in Santa Ana, authorities said.
The driver, a 16-year-olds arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of “alcohol and/or drugs,” was speeding down the 1600 block of South Greenville Street about 11 a.m. when he lost control of the silver sedan, which jumped the curb, veered onto a sidewalk and plowed into the pedestrians, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said. The car then slammed into a light pole.
Five patients — all male — were taken to area hospitals, including one with an apparent broken leg, but none of the injuries were considered life- threatening, he said.
The driver, who did not have a license, was released to his parents and police plan to petition to have him charged as a juvenile, Bertagna said.
