A 24-year-old Santa Ana man who was crossing a Garden Grove street was killed after he was struck by two separate vehicles, according to a news report.
Garden Grove police said that Alfredo Medrano-Jimenez was jay-walking across Westminster Avenue between Kerry Street and Erin Road when he was struck by at least two vehicles. As investigators were going over the scene, a woman arrived and informed them that she had been driving one of the cars that hit the victim. She was released after providing a statement to police.
Witnesses reported seeing a large white van leaving the scene immediately following the incident, but it was unknown whether or not the van was involved in the pedestrian accident. Police are seeking the van’s driver for questioning.
