Evening accident stalls traffic

Traffic was backed up on Jamboree Road from Eastbluff Drive to

Bristol Street in Newport Beach after a black Honda sedan rolled,

landing on its side in the southbound lanes of the busy thoroughfare.

One Newport Beach fire engine, a paramedic and three police cars

responded to the accident at about 6:15 p.m.

Emergency crews attended to 25-year-old Matthew Easton, who lay in

the median holding a towel to his head. He was put on a stretcher and

taken to Western Medical Center Santa Ana for treatment of minor

injuries, Newport Beach Lt. Jim Kaminsky said.

The black car stood on its side while commuters made their way

cautiously around it. Shirts, jeans, bags and other contents of the

trunk were strewn all over the street.
