A 41-year-old Fountain Valley man suspected of drunk driving was

arrested Sunday after he was involved in an accident that left five

others injured.

Police arrested Arne Linga on suspicion of drunk driving and driving

with a suspended license after the 1984 blue Dodge van he was driving

collided with a green 1995 Ford Explorer in the intersection of Garfield

Avenue and Magnolia Street at about 3 p.m. Sunday, said Lt. Chuck Thomas

of the Huntington Beach Police Department.

The occupants in the Explorer, two adults and three children, suffered

minor injuries, were transported to area hospitals and later released,

Thomas said.

Linga is scheduled to appear in court May 7 at the West Justice Center

in Westminster.

Police claim Linga ran a red light as he was driving eastbound on

Garfield Avenue and broadsided the Explorer that was traveling north on

Magnolia Street.
