Rollover causes hourlong SigAlert

Three women escaped with minor injuries after the sport utility

vehicle they were in rolled over and landed upside down on the

southbound Corona del Mar Freeway on Monday afternoon, snarling

traffic for more than an hour, officials said.

The incident happened at about 5:55 p.m. on the freeway at Irvine

Avenue when the driver of the Ford Explorer lost control of the

vehicle while trying to avoid something on the road, Costa Mesa Fire

Battalion Chief Keith Fujimoto said.

The women suffered neck and back pain and minor cuts, fire

officials said. Two were taken to Hoag Hospital and one to Western

Medical Center in Santa Ana, Fujimoto said.

A SigAlert was issued for about an hour.
