The driver of the Mitsubishi fled the scene, according to the CHP, and he then hit two other parked cars within the next half-mile in separate incidents.
As the driver approached state Route 125 on Jamacha Road, he went through a red light and struck another car, this one a 2012 Kia Sorento driven by a 41-year-old woman, who was also lightly injured.
The Mitsubishi flipped over and soon caught fire, CHP officers said, and the young man, who was not wearing a seat belt during the wreck, was trapped inside. Witnesses, including two brothers and a person with some firefighting training, rushed to the scene and flipped the car back over and pulled the man out of the still burning vehicle.
