It wasn’t clear what led to the crash, or how many people were involved. But the crash sent two adults nearby trauma centers, Nguyen said.

The woman who was ejected had critical injuries. Nguyen didn’t know the condition of the other person injured in the crash.

“It looks like they went head-on,” Nguyen said.

Santa Ana police were investigating the crash.
