Feb. 29--A rollover crash that sent one person to the hospital Monday afternoon slowed traffic on a major road and closed an entrance to South Coast Plaza, authorities said.
The three-car collision occurred on Sunflower Avenue at Plaza Drive, a street that provides an entrance to South Coast Plaza by the Nordstrom department store, said Costa Mesa Fire Department Capt. Chris Coates.
Firefighters responded to the scene at 12:40 p.m. and began triaging the people inside the cars. Three individuals declined to be taken to a hospital. A woman in her 30s was taken to OC Global Medical Center in Santa Ana with non-life-threatening injuries, Coates said.
Traffic along eastbound Sunflower Avenue was slowed and Plaza Drive was closed as officials worked to clear the crash. It is not clear how long Plaza Drive will remain closed.
Costa Mesa police are investigating the cause of the crash.
