Orange County, CA (April 15, 2024): (San Clemente Patch)-Accident Claims Life of 62-Year-Old Woman in Orange County. Tragedy struck early Monday morning in Orange County as a three-car collision unfolded, resulting in the loss of life for a 62-year-old Anaheim resident.
The incident, which occurred around 12:11 a.m. at the intersection of Orangethorpe Avenue and Harbor Boulevard in Fullerton, involved a white BMW, a black Chevrolet Silverado, and a blue Toyota Rav 4, all left with significant damage in the aftermath.
The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed at present, was seated in the passenger’s seat of the Rav 4. Regrettably, she was pronounced dead at the scene, marking a devastating outcome of the crash.
Initial reports from the Fullerton Police Department suggest that the BMW, traveling southbound in the number one lane, collided with the rear of the stationary Toyota Rav 4, which had halted at a red light. Subsequently, the BMW struck the driver’s side of the Chevrolet Silverado, which was also stationary in the adjacent lane.
The collision resulted in injuries to two individuals, a 22-year-old and a 25-year-old, both Anaheim residents, who were promptly transported to local hospitals for treatment. Meanwhile, the 18-year-old driver of the Chevrolet, a Fullerton resident, received medical attention at the scene and was subsequently released.
Authorities have highlighted several factors that are currently under scrutiny as potential contributors to the cause of such tragic collisions in Orange County. The speed of the BMW driver, coupled with suspicions of alcohol and/or drug involvement, are all subjects of investigation, as indicated by the Fullerton Police Department in a recent news release.
In the wake of this tragic incident, the authorities urge anyone with pertinent information to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. Individuals can reach out to the Fullerton Police Department at 714-738-6812 or via email at jfeaster@fullertonpd.org.
