A crash involving an ice cream truck and two other vehicles in Buena Park sent three people to a hospital Saturday, Dec. 4.

The collision happened near of Stanton Avenue and Poinsettia Drive at about 4:30 p.m., Buena Park police said. The truck’s front end was obliterated as it rolled over and came to rest on its side, wedged against a damaged compact SUV at the intersection, as seen in photos posted to social media. A red hatchback missing its front right suspension column and front bumper sat a few yards away as it leaked oil and water onto the street.

There were six people involved in the collision, three people with minor injuries who declined medical treatment and three people were transported to a local hospital with trauma-like injuries, said Capt. Thanh Nguyen with the Orange County Fire Authority.

Details regarding the severity of their injuries, the ages and genders of the people were not immediately released.

Information regarding what led up to the collision was not available Saturday afternoon. There was no immediate indication that drugs or alcohol were involved, Weaver said.

Northbound lanes of Stanton were shut down as police and firefighters worked at the scene of the crash.
