A person was killed and another critically injured in a suspected DUI crash in Orange early Saturday, authorities said.
A BMW collided with a Jeep at the southbound 57 freeway transition to the westbound 22 freeway, causing the Jeep to go over the K-rail and onto the on-ramp below, an Orange County Fire Authority spokesman said.
The SUV flipped onto its roof and a man inside was killed, according to OCFA spokesman Joe Mathias. Another person was taken to the hospital in a critical condition. It took up to 30 minutes to get them out of the damaged vehicle.
A woman suspected of driving under the influence was taken into custody, Mathias said. She was not injured in the crash.
The southbound 57 freeway transition to the westbound 22 freeway and the City Drive on-ramp to the westbound 22 remained closed as of 4:45 a.m.
