The Menifee Police Department is seeking witnesses to a major traffic collision with injuries that occurred Saturday morning.

Officers responded at 10 a.m. along with Fire Department personnel to the accident at Holland Road and Evans Road, according to a Menifee PD news release. The accident involved a black Chevrolet truck and a gray Pontiac sedan. The driver of the truck suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.

The driver of the gray sedan suffered severe injuries and was transported to a hospital in stable condition. Two passengers in the sedan were trapped inside and were extricated by firefighters. Both were transported to local hospitals. One is a juvenile. They remain in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
