A neighbor’s doorbell camera captured the moment a car slammed into a pickup truck on a residential street in Fullerton, flipping it on its side and trapping two people inside on Sunday evening.
The Fullerton Police Department responded to the crash at Valencia Drive and Courtney Avenue just before 6:30 p.m. They cut off the windshield of the truck to extricate the two people inside, Fullerton Fire Capt. Robert Thompson said.
The neighbor’s video shows a dark blue Toyota sedan moving quickly down Valencia Drive as a silver Ford pickup truck makes a slow left turn from Courtney Avenue onto Valencia Drive. The sedan crashes into the truck, momentarily sending it into the air and then knocking it over on its side. The crash caused severe front-end damage to the sedan and activated its airbags, video from news-gathering agency OnScene shows.

The two and the driver of the sedan were transported to hospitals with minor injuries and complaints of pain, according to Police Department spokesperson Kristy Wells. Police confirmed to The Times that the incident was not DUI-related.
Wells said the department had not made any arrests in the crash and did not anticipate doing so.
