A four-year-old boy was struck and killed while riding his scooter on an Irvine residential street, according to a news report.
Irvine police said that Zhiyu Guo was riding his scooter across Lake Forest Drive at Romano when he was hit by a Honda CR-V traveling on Lake Forest Drive. The driver stopped and took the boy and his parents, who were near him at the time of the accident, to Hoag Hospital Irvine. The boy was then taken to Children’s Hospital of Orange County in Orange, where he later died.
The area where the four-year-old was hit is between two gated communities — Laguna Altura and Hidden Canyon — that have many young families with children, according to a neighbor.
