Rafael was dragged 60 feet by a car as he attempted to cross the highway near Santa Paula. When the vehicle’s driver slammed on the brakes, a second car rear-ended it and forced it into a ditch, officials said.
The drivers of both cars were treated and released from a local hospital, officials said.
