4 people suffered injuries during a chain reaction crash in Santa Cruz today. The 12:40 p.m. incident occurred on Freedom Boulevard near McDonald Road when a Boulder Creek woman, driving a Mazda 3, was making a left-hand turn on Parkhurst Circle when a Watsonville woman did not see the stopped car and crashed her Ford Mustang into the woman causing her Mazda to be pushed into oncoming traffic, which then caused a head-on collision with a Toyota van, who then collided into a nearby embankment. The driver of the van was hospitalized with minor injuries, while the others were treated at the scene.
