Two injured in rollover crash
A man and woman were hospitalized Saturday after the convertible Porsche they were riding in flipped over several times, officials said.
The crash was reported about 6:30 p.m. on eastbound Valley Boulevard near Brea Canyon Road in an unincorporated county area near Walnut, according to California Highway Patrol logs.
The driver of the car, a 22-year-old man, was flown by helicopter to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center for treatment, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Bruce Lang said.
A 24-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car was taken to a hospital by ambulance, he said. Her injuries appeared to be less severe than the driver's.
Witnesses reported the Porsche rolled over several times before coming to a rest, the sergeant said. Seat belts likely saved the lives of the man and woman, he added.
The cause of the crash, which was being investigated by the CHP, was not immediately available.
