Silverado Canyon : Three Hurt as Truck Hits Dirt Embankment

An 18-year-old driver and his two passengers sustained minor injuries late Sunday when the driver lost control of his truck along a curve, authorities said.

John Beigh of Orange was driving west on Silverado Canyon Road near Santiago Canyon Road when he lost control and hit a dirt embankment on the south side of the roadway, California Highway Patrol Officer Jim Lindquist said. Beigh and his passengers were taken to Chapman General Hospital in Orange, from which they were later released. Beigh was not cited, Lindquist said.
