Two people suffered moderate injuries in Solvang on Saturday afternoon when the vehicle they were working under collapsed on them, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
The accident occurred at about 2:40 p.m. in the 2100 block Creekside Drive, near Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital, fire Engineer Russ Sechler said.
The two victims were working under the vehicle when the jacks gave way, trapping and injuring them both, Sechler said.

The other man, who was more seriously injured, had to be extricated from under the vehicle by firefighters, Sechler said.
He was airlifted to Cottage via CalStar helicopter.
