SANTA ANA (CBSLA) — A man was killed, and a woman and a child were injured after their car smashed into a tree in Santa Ana early Friday.
The crash happened in the 2600 block of West MacArthur Boulevard at about 12:30 a.m. Police say there did not appear to be any other cars involved in the crash.
The impact with the tree left the car's front end completely smashed in.
