IRVINE (CNS) - The driver of a minivan was hospitalized in critical condition today after driving off the San Joaquin Hills Toll Road (73) in Irvine and hitting a sign, eventually catching fire, which burned an acre of vegetation.
The vehicle reportedly went over the embankment just after 4:50 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
Witnesses told the CHP the male driver was pulled from the smoking vehicle before it became engulfed in flames and that he appeared to have a broken leg.
The Orange County Fire Authority was summoned to the scene to treat the injured driver, and firefighters held the flames to one acre, OCFA officials said.

The Laguna Beach Unified School District Board of Education and City Council discussed adding the school bus yard as a possible site for new housing at a joint meeting on July 15.
“As everyone’s aware here, we’re very landlocked here in Laguna Beach,” Assistant Superintendent Jeff Dixon said. “So finding additional land to develop more units is fairly difficult. But they were very creative in their analysis of the city. And what they came up with was potential sites to add affordable housing.”
Laguna’s Housing and Human Services Committee has looked at school district-owned properties, such as the bus yard and district office parking lot as potential housing sites.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge appointed a new receiver Wednesday to assume control of a prominent Laguna Beach real estate investor’s companies, including the entity managing Hotel Laguna.
In the previously unreported lawsuit filed June 25, Delaware-based Coastline Loans LLC demanded payment from corporations managed by Mohammad Honarkar for a $175 million loan, accrued interest, and attorneys fees.
“Defendants have breached the terms of their respective obligations by various covenants breaches, including but not limited to pending court actions, material representations including but not limited to undisclosed debt, and non-payment of loan fee and interest,” Coastline Loans’ attorney Tom Normandin wrote in the complaint.
