Rollover Crash in Newport Beach Ejects Engine Onto Sidewalk Near Frozen Yogurt Shop

A violent single-vehicle rollover in Newport Beach early Thursday left a scene of dramatic destruction when the car’s engine was ripped free and landed on the sidewalk near a frozen yogurt shop. Eyewitnesses say a dark SUV flipped violently before coming to rest close to the East Coast Highway storefront.

At least one person was treated on-site and later transported to a local hospital. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Authorities have not yet released the driver’s condition or whether speeding, impairment, or mechanical failure played a role.

The incident left both residents and business owners rattled, as debris scattered across the sidewalk and street required immediate cleanup and rope-off zones. The striking nature of the crash—especially with the engine separated from the vehicle—highlights the extreme forces involved and the urgent need for a thorough investigation by traffic and safety officials.
