An 89-year-old man has been killed and his wife was injured in a two-car collision in Newport Beach, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that the victim was driving a Toyota Camry east on Monte Vista Drive when he was broadsided by a Range Rover SUV traveling south in the intersection of Irvine Avenue. The unidentified man was pronounced dead at the scene; his wife was taken to Orange County Global Medical Center in Santa Ana with non-life-threatening injuries.
The woman driving the Range Rover was not injured; there were two children under the age of five in the SUV with her and they were uninjured as well.
