Two persons were injured early Monday morning when a vehicle crashed into Orange County Sheriff’s Department units parked to block the scene of a vehicle fire at a gas station.

According to the Orange County Fire Authority, the incident took place in the area of Beach Boulevard and Orangewood Avenue in Stanton.

Engine 46, serving Stanton, responded to the scene of the fire shortly after 2 a.m. OCSD vehicles were in place there blocking a lane for the OCFA to use.

A second vehicle crashed into the OCSD units and an adult male driver was trapped in his vehicle. An OCFA truck designed for auto extrication was summoned for the rescue of that driver, and the drivers of both vehicles taken to an area hospital for treatment in “unknown conditions.”

No injuries were sustained among firefighters or deputies. The cause of the traffic collision is being investigated by the California Highway Patrol and the vehicle by OCFA investigators.
