The second crash was reported at 6:05 p.m. on the westbound Temecula Parkway, between La Paz Road and Wabash Lane, according to Cal Fire.
According to Cal Fire Capt. Barry Owens, there were four people -- two of them children -- who suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals.
Three people in a Chrysler Town and Country minivan -- a woman and two children -- were injured, and one occupant of a Honda Civic was also hurt, Owens said.
For example, when these motorists learn the rule of spacing, instead having an attitude of entitlement, things will get better. For safety-sake, space around your vehicle should be such which gives you time to react in emergencies and avoid a collision. Not only waiting at a cross and being patient, but while actually driving, create a space cushion around your vehicle by staying in the middle of your lane. Make sure there is enough room ahead of your vehicle and behind it for another car to pass or stop safely, or avoid these impatient morons that want to race into the road. For example, if traveling at a mere 30-miles/hr, 3-car lengths is more than enough to react defensively to a driver in front of you that breaks suddenly.
