Fernando Ferrer, 25, of Fillmore, was involved in a car accident on Saturday, August 18th, on Vineyard Avenue just north of Central Avenue, Oxnard.

Rocio was extricated from her vehicle by Ventura County firefighters and taken to Ventura County Medical Center with serious injuries.

Rodriguez and Ferrer received minor injuries and were taken to St. John’s Medical Center.
