    2 hospitalized after minivan slams into Santa Ana apartment complex
    • May 2, 2023

    Two people were hospitalized after a minivan crashed into an apartment building in Santa Ana Monday night, May 1, authorities said.

    The driver ran off after the crash and was being sought, Santa Ana police Sgt. Maria Lopez said.

    Orange County firefighters went to the 1600 block of West Memory Lane, near The City Drive, and found the minivan in a ground-floor apartment and had been told that there may have been victims trapped inside, Capt. Sean Doran told OnSceneTV, a news outlet that often partners with the Southern California News Group.

    It appears the entire minivan ended up inside the building.

    Firefighters moved the minivan enough to free a woman who had been trapped under the minivan, Lopez said. Paramedics took her to the hospital in critical condition.

    Firefighters later found a man inside the apartment, Doran said. He was treated and taken to a hospital in unknown condition.

    Lamar Moorer told OnSceneTV he was standing in the parking lot of the apartment complex and saw the minivan “going fast through (the intersection)” before running into the building.

    “No brakes or anything,” he said. “It just kept going.”

    Moorer, whose mother lives in the complex, said he ran to the apartment following the collision and tried to help the injured woman, but was unable to move the minivan and had to wait for firefighters to arrive.
