Accident stalls several, injures few

Two people suffered minor injuries in a six-car pileup that

snarled traffic on the San Diego Freeway on Thursday morning,

officials said.

The accident, which happened at about 8:45 a.m. on the southbound

San Diego Freeway, just south of the Costa Mesa Freeway, was a chain

reaction, a “domino effect” crash, California Highway Patrol Officer

Ken Yoon said.

“We don’t know yet exactly how it occurred, but most of them were

rear-end collisions,” he said.

A SigAlert was issued for 45 minutes, Yoon said.

“The traffic jam wasn’t too bad because it was the tail end of

rush hour,” he said.

The two people who were taken to the hospital did not suffer any

major injuries, Yoon said.

“Both complained of pain,” he said. “One of them even walked up to

the ambulance.”
