CUT-RESCUE PHOTOS: One Injured in Rollover Crash at Mariposa Elementary

A car overturned and smashed into other vehicles this week in front of Mariposa Elementary School, where Redlands firefighters used tools to cut the roof off the Toyota and rescue a trapped motorist, according to fire and city officials.

The wreck occurred about 2 p.m. Wednesday in the 30800 block of Palo Alto Drive, where the elementary school is located, Redlands spokesman Carl Baker said.

Photos posted online by the Redlands Fire Department describe the incident as a rollover traffic accident, and show firefighters stabilizing the red Toyota sedan after removal of the roof to access the driver.

Baker said Thursday evening one person sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized. The name of the injured person was not released.

At least two other vehicles were damaged in the crash. Further details about what led to the crash and whether elementary students were in the area when the crash occurred were not available.
