Three fall into flood control channel at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl following USC vs. UCLA football game

PASADENA >> Firefighters rescued three football fans late Saturday after they tumbled into a dry flood-control channel in the parking lot of the Rose Bowl just after the USC vs. UCLA game, officials said.
The two women and one man, who estimated to be in their 20s, suffered “minor to moderate” injuries in the mishap, which took place about 9:15 p.m. in parking lot 7 of the stadium, 1001 Rose Bowl Drive, Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said.
The three had just left the stadium, where UCLA defeated rival USC 38-20 in an anticipated game that came to an end shortly before 8:30 p.m.
They had been walking along the channel when they slipped and fell in, tumbling about 20 feet down a steep slope into the concrete channel, officials said.
Paramedics took the two women and man to an area hospital for treatment.
