Watch Your Driving, Lamorinda. Santa Doesn't Want Any More Accidents This Christmas

Betwixt and between all the burglaries and police action of late, Moraga-Orinda Fire District firefighters and County Fire personnel have been helping people out of tight spots -- particularly on local roadways recently.

We tweeted about an accident Saturday on Moraga Way at Glorietta Boulevard in Orinda and received a number of inquiries from people who saw the aftermath and wanted to know what happened.

MOFD Division Chief Darrell Lee updated us with the following:

"We responded to reports of a single car on its side," Lee said. "The driver was trapped for a short time, while firefighters cut through the windshield to gain access to the unconscious victim."

Firefighters and paramedics removed eventually took the unidentified victim out the rear hatch of the car, Lee said. The patient was transported to John Muir Medical Center and Orinda police are investigating the cause of the accident.
