Man survives after cement truck crushes his vehicle

A full cement truck toppled onto an SUV Wednesday morning,

trapping a Santa Ana man inside his Pathfinder for an hour.

Rescue crews cut 25-year-old Billy Williams out of his Nissan SUV

and airlifted him to Western Medical Center. Williams had minor

injuries and a passenger in his SUV and the cement truck driver were

not hurt.

* Police and state drug task force members Wednesday afternoon

arrested two Costa Mesa residents in their home, where officers found

a lab used to manufacture a drug commonly used in date rape.

The bust was initiated by two state agencies, the Orange County

Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement and the Orange County ProActive Lab

Group, police said. Costa Mesa police officers assisted with the

raid.

Police arrested 47-year-old David Noel and Chris Mazzie, 32. Both

were released on Wednesday pending further investigation. No charges

had been filed against Noel or Mazzie. Officials went into the home

in the 800 block of Governor Street and dismantled the GHB lab.

Officials refused to comment further because of the ongoing

investigation.
