SAN CLEMENTE – Four people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash involving a big-rig at a freeway off-ramp Monday morning, authorities said.
Two people were reported in critical condition after the crash, and authorities shut down Avenida Pico near the I-5 as firefighters tried to cut one person out of their wrecked vehicle, officials said.

Details on how the crash occurred were not immediately clear, but officials received reports that a big-rig was broadsided by a sedan at the freeway off-ramp, said Lt. Roland Chacon of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
A box truck and an SUV were also reported to be involved, authorities said.
The crash was reported near the Avenida Pico off-ramp at about 11 a.m., where at least one woman was trapped inside the wreck, said Capt. Marc Stone of the Orange County Fire Authority.
The crash happened on the off-ramp, but the impact pushed the crash into the intersection, Quesada said.

The two people in critical condition were taken to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo to be treated, Stone said. One person declined to be treated at the scene, and a fourth person suffered minor injuries.
Avenida Pico has been shut down to traffic, Chacon said, and officials requested assistance from city officials to divert traffic away from the area.

Cause of the  San Clemente  Crash

The crash remains under investigation and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department is expected to release more information as it becomes available.
