Street Race Crash, Four Injured

LAGUNA NIGUEL — Two vehicles with a total of seven occupants collided in Laguna Niguel today, leaving a 17-year-old boy in extremely critical condition and two other people with lesser injuries, authorities said.

The two drivers may have been racing, according to authorities.

One of the vehicles crashed into a wall, sending chunks of bricks and concrete flying into a nearby house, whose 68-year-old owner suffered minor injuries when he was struck by debris, said Orange County sheriff's Lt. Ted Boyne.

A Pontiac Aztec SUV with five teenagers inside and a red Honda CRX were speeding in the same direction in the area of Alicia Parkway and Crown Valley Parkway when the Pontiac "clipped the Honda" at about 3:20 a.m., causing the SUV driver to lose control and crash into a brick wall, Boyne said.

A 17-year-old boy was thrown from the back of the SUV and suffered extremely critical injuries, authorities said. Boyne said the boy was in "grave condition."

Another 17-year-old boy, the brother of the Honda driver, suffered head injuries that are considered "moderate," Boyne said.

Both injured boys are from Mission Viejo. Their names were not immediately released.

The driver and one passenger in the Honda were uninjured, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.

Less than 1-mile away from where a 14yo girl was killed in a car crash two days ago

No mercy for those who race on the open road.  I'm glad the only injuries were those racing.

These types of cars should be banned!  There's no reason why anyone needs cars like that.

Actually the Aztec hit a block wall so hard that the blocks flew 40 feet, crashing through the back windows of a house. An old man sleeping inside got hit in the head by one of the blocks. he has facial and head injuries, but was not hospitalized.  they showed him on the news, and his house, which has several broken windows from the car parts and bricks.

Somebodies insurance rates are going way up after paying medical bills for Four, two vehicles, plus home, landscaping, and fence repairs. Shouldnt cost more than $100,000 for the property damage and a few million in medical.
