Four people were injured in a Riverside car accident the afternoon of January 23, 2010 after a head-on collision. The North County Times reports that the injury collision occurred at the intersection of Via Volcano and Tenaja Road in Temecula. California Highway Patrol officials say that a Camaro going north on Via Volcano at a high rate of speed crossed over into opposing lanes of traffic and collided with an SUV. Officials said another car was also involved in this collision.

The Camaro’s driver suffered neck injuries and two broken legs. Two passengers in the Camaro, aged 9 and 17, sustained minor injuries. The driver of the SUV also suffered a broken leg. No details were available about the occupants of the third car. All injured victims were transported to a local hospital. Officials do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor.

My heart goes out to the injured victims in this car accident especially the driver of the SUV and the two children. I wish them the very best for a speedy and complete recovery.
