OXNARD, Calif. -  Oxnard police said a 40car  accident sent two
injured drivers and two injured children to area hospitals.  A
fifth person was taken to the hospital because of a medical
condition.  The accident happened at a faulty signal around 9:30
a.m.  Neighbors called it an accident waiting to happen. They
said the lights at the intersection of Ventura and Gonzales
Roads haven't been working properly for days. Police put out
stop signs, hoping people would treat it like a four-way stop.
Mario Coletti said he was selling Fast Wax on the corner when he
saw an older-model Ford pickup fly through the air after
crashing into a white BMW, then those cars skidded into a Ford
Flex and a Toyota Sienna van. Coletti said he tried to help keep
a woman and child calm until help arrived.  Police said the
injuries turned out to be moderate to minor.  The  54-year-old
driver of the pickup, Rodolfo Tinoco of Oxnard, was not injured.
Oxnard traffic officers opened the intersection while crews
worked to repair the signa
