A 55-year-old man was killed in a Santa Ana pedestrian accident after he was hit by two separate vehicles while trying to cross the street, according to a news report.
Santa Ana police said that Jose Javier Diaz was crossing in the 400 block of Broadway just south of Chestnut Avenue when he was struck by a white Chevrolet truck. Diaz was knocked into the southbound lane of Broadway, where he was hit again by a green convertible Ford Mustang. Both vehicles left the scene of the accident without stopping.
Investigators said that it appeared Diaz was not in a crosswalk at the time of the incident; police are asking anyone with information on the two hit-and-run vehicles to call 714-245-8701.
