An electric car crashed into a Garden Grove business parking garage, causing a fire

Firefighters quickly prevented an electric vehicle fire from spreading after the car crashed into the exterior wall of a business parking garage in the 13100 block of Magnolia Street in Garden Grove at about 3:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, according to the OCFA.

The firefighters confined the fire to just the vehicle and the exterior of the building — saving the attached business.

The firefighters then continued to cool the vehicle to assure safe transport on the tow truck.

The driver was not injured.

The Garden Grove Police Department also assisted with traffic control at the scene..
