An 83-year-old man is dead and two other people have been injured in an Orange pedestrian accident, according to a news report.
Orange police said that the victim — identified as Vicente Banagale, 83, of Orange — was in a motorized scooter and in a crosswalk on La Veta Avenue with his daughter and her husband when all three were hit by a sedan going west on La Veta.
Banagale was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange, where he later died. His daughter and her husband were taken to the hospital in serious condition.
Police said the female driver of the sedan told them she did not see the family in the crosswalk before she drove through it. The Orange Police Department is investigating the fatal pedestrian accident.
