Motel explosion shatters windows, injures no one

ANAHEIM ? An explosion about 1 a.m. Sunday at the Rainbow Inn, 831 S. Beach Blvd., led to the evacuation of motel residents, police said.

Police, firefighters and the Orange County Bomb Squad investigated the explosion that shattered the windows of three motel rooms, Sgt. Wayne Alonso said.

An explosion at the Rainbow Inn on Beach Boulevard in Anaheim early Sunday morning left a couple units with blown out windows and around 100 people evacuated from the Rainbow Inn and two surrounding motels while the Orange County Sheriff Bomb Squad and Anaheim Fire & Rescue Hazmat team investigated the cause of the explosion.

No one was injured, authorities said.

Police said the cause and origin of the explosion could not be immediately determined.

"Whether it came from outside or inside no one knows," Alonso said.

Police closed South Beach Boulevard in front of the motel during the investigation, Alonso said.

About 3 a.m., a driver attempted to maneuver around police vehicles at Beach and Ball Road, authorities said.

Brian Kim, 25 from Garden Grove, struck a police car and was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. Neither he nor police were injured, Alonso said.
