Nine people were tended to by paramedics and the Orange County Fire Department, and five people were transported to local trauma centers.  There were no reported fatalities.

The vehicle vs. pedestrian car crash occurred before 7:00 p.m. near the front entrance gate of the concert venue on Irvine Center Drive.  The driver hit a parked cop cruiser which was then pushed into a crowd of people picnicking on the grass area.

Traffic accident investigators with Irvine Police Department and the Orange County Fire Department are treating the  pedestrian serious injury crash as a traffic collision. The man who was driving the white sedan was not arrested. His airbag was deployed during the impact of the crash with the police cruiser. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, and there was no evidence that the driver was intoxicated.

Many people ran to the aid of the accident victims. The concert started on time, but the conductor called for a moment of silence prior to the start. Investigators are asking any witnesses with information to come forward and help sort out the details.
