Police told Mills only two of the eight people in the minivan were wearing seat belts.

The driver of the other vehicle, a commercial van, was also injured.

Mills said that driver, the only occupant of his vehicle, suffered a broken leg and broken ankle. The driver underwent an operation Thursday afternoon.

The accident occurred at Orange Street between Pioneer and the Santa Ana River wash, just after 9:30 a.m., according to officials.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Orange Street remained closed for much of the day.

 

Girl, 3, Killed When SUV Hits Bus Stop in Orange

A 3-year-old girl was killed when a small SUV crashed into a bus bench where her family was waiting in Orange on Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

The girl’s father was left in critical condition after the 3:30 p.m. collision.

The crash happened at East Taft Avenue and North Tustin Street , according  to Orange police Sgt. Fred Lopez.

The driver of the SUV, which was traveling southbound on Tustin Street, said he swerved to avoid hitting a car that cut him off, passing into northbound lanes, where he swerved again to avoid oncoming traffic, Lopez said.

“He drove his vehicle onto the curb, strking a bus bench,” Lopez said. “Unfortunately, when he struck the bus bench, there was a mother, father and their 3-year-old daughter, who was in a stroller.”

The Orange Fire Department responded, taking the father and daughter to a local hospital, where the young girl was pronounced dead on arrival. The father was placed in a medical induced coma but is expected to survive, Lopez said.

The mother was uninjured.

The driver of the vehicle, a white Kia Soul, was a 29-year-old man who was traveling with his 5-year-old son. Neither were injured, Lopez said.

The driver was cooperating with authorities and had not been charged with anything, Lopez said. He submitted to a blood test.

Authorities do not think alcohol was a factor, Lopez said.

Investigators are expected to be on scene into early Sunday.

San Diego Mechanic Killed While Servicing Disabled School Bus

 

A 32 year old bus mechanic who died has been identified by the San Diego Medical Examiner as John Friedas Joaquin Jr.

According to CHP, Joaquin was working inside the engine compartment of an empty, disabled San Diego Unified School bus on the southbound I-805 Thursday morning, December 13, 2012.

CHP said a 41-year-old woman driving a 2005 Nissan Altima lost control of her vehicle due to her speed on the rain-saturated road at 6:55 a.m. and struck the rear of the bus, trapping Joaquin in the engine compartment and causing major injuries.

Responding paramedics found the Ramona man alert and responsive when they arrived on scene, though he had an open compound fracture of the left femur, according to the Medical Examiner.

The Medical Examiner stated that Joaquin, who was married, was transported to Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego where he underwent surgery to amputate the left leg below the knee.

After being taken to the intensive care unit, Joaquin’s condition “rapidly declined” and he went into cardio-respiratory arrest and later died, according to the Medical Examiner.

CHP said slick roads and speed contributed to the collision.
