Santa Ana : Santa Ana Boy, Father Seriously Hurt in Crash
A 9-year-old Santa Ana boy and his father suffered serious injuries Thursday in a collision between their pickup truck and a car on a Santa Ana street early Thursday, police said.
The boy, Rodolfo Davila Jr., and his father, Rodolfo Davila, 32, were taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange after a car driven by Antonio Martin Luevano, 21, of Los Angeles, collided with them head-on in the 1900 block of Bristol Street about 6 a.m. Thursday, police spokeswoman Maureen Thomas said.
The boy suffered serious cuts to his head and a neck injury, and his left leg was possibly broken, police said.
Medical center spokeswoman Elaine Beno said the boy was in the pediatric intensive care unit in serious condition, while his father was in surgery late Thursday.
The father suffered a broken knee, numerous cuts and bruises, she said.
Luevano suffered a broken nose and was taken to United Western Medical Center-Santa Ana, Thomas said.
