OCFA firefighters responded to the area of Tustin Ranch Road and Pioneer Way for a traffic collision at 11:16 pm last night.

On arrival, the fire crew found a single vehicle that appeared to have been traveling at a high rate of speed and lost control.

The car collided with a large tree that was thrown 20-30 feet away from the point of impact, and split the car.

Both occupants were treated by firefighter paramedics and transported to the hospital.

The accident happened a block south of OCFA Fire Station #43 just west of the OCFA headquarters in Tustin.
