Officers arrived just after 12:30 a.m. today in the 200 block of Chaney Street and found a smashed-up car with five people inside.
Initial investigations revealed the car, driven by 18-year-old Eduardo Barba, of Lake Elsinore was speeding southbound on Chaney Street when he lost control and rolled the car.
The car also struck a retaining wall, Sgt. Chavez stated in a sheriff’s press release.
All of the occupants were transported to nearby hospitals, including a 17-year-old girl who suffered significant injuries.
According to officers, Barba showed symptoms of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Barba is expected to be charged with driving under the influence and causing injury once he is released from the hospital.
Anyone with additional details regarding this crash is urged to contact Deputy Chavez at 951-245-3300.

Hers another one . Probably in the country illegally , underage drunkenness , likely no drivers licience , or auto insurance .
He’ll get a slap on the wrist , a hundred dollar fine and the American taxpayer will pick up the tab for everything else once again .
Wow Dave! a little frustration built up eh?
Wait till one of these kills somebody you know . Or maybe maimed you for life .
That’s something that can’t be undone .
Maybe that’s what it will take to enlighten people like you .
Have you ever seen the stats on this ? More people have been killed in alcohol related accidents in this country in the last decade than have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan during the same period of time . Yet the Libbies cry about one and condone the other .
Wake up people . Secure the border and deport deport deport .
Oh , a small detail that I left out of my previous comment .
More people have been killed in alcohol related traffic accidents caused by illegal aliens than in the last decade than have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan .
Just by illegal aliens . The Libbies won’t secure the border which is the cause of more death and mayhem to Americans vs. the wars , but that’s what they scream about . At least if they can blame it on Bush . But if its Obambams war , then it’s O.K.
The hypocracy abounds .
