Three people were hospitalized Saturday night following a collision on Harbor Boulevard that led firefighters to use the jaws of life to extricate a driver from a crumpled vehicle, officials reported Monday.
Costa Mesa police believe the collision may have been caused by a 28-year-old man who allegedly took his roommate’s black Honda sedan without permission and was observed by witnesses running multiple red lights at a high rate of speed on Harbor Boulevard prior to the collision.
