UPS delivery truck overturns; 3 injured

A UPS delivery truck overturned on East Coast Highway Wednesday

morning, injuring three people.

The accident happened just after 10 a.m. at East Coast Highway and

Pelican Point Drive in Newport Beach. The UPS truck rolled over on

top of a “small Mercedes-Benz,” Sgt. Bill Hartford said.

Three people at the scene were injured and two were taken to local

hospitals, Newport Beach fire spokeswoman Jennifer Schulz said. The

extent of their injuries was not released.

No citations were issued and police do not believe alcohol was a

factor, Hartford said. The accident is under investigation.

Fireworks concession goes up in smoke

A Costa Mesa fireworks stand went up in smoke early Tuesday

morning, but no explosives were inside at the time, fire officials

said.

Firefighters got the call that a stand was burning in the 200

block of Bristol Street just after 1 a.m. Tuesday, Costa Mesa fire

spokeswoman Barbara Marcosa said. Part of the structure and roof

burned in the fire, she said.

No fireworks were inside the stand at the time and no buildings

were threatened, she said.

Fireworks stands in Costa Mesa must close by 8 p.m. on July 4,

according to a city ordinance.

The stand was operated by an American Youth Soccer Organization

group.
