A woman trapped inside an SUV that rolled over after hitting a parked car in a Menifee neighborhood today was extricated and transported to a local hospital with undisclosed injuries, according to the Riverside County Fire Department and a witness.

The accident occurred in the 29600 block of Jura Court near Melitta Road about 2:20 p.m. Brian Jacobson told Menifee 24/7 he was watering his front lawn when he heard a crash and looked up to see a white SUV rolling off the hood of a parked car and coming to rest on its side.

"The car came around the corner too fast, hit the curb, went on top of a car on the side of the street and rolled off," Jacobson said. "The driver was trapped inside."

Residents tried to assist the trapped driver, but it took firefighters to get her out. Extrication took about three minutes, said April Newman of the Riverside County Fire Department. She did not have details on the extent of the woman's injuries.

No one else was in either vehicle and there were no other injuries.
