55-Year-Old Man Killed in Fountain Valley Crash

A 55-year-old man died following a two-vehicle crash in Fountain Valley late Sunday afternoon on February 26.

The Fountain Valley Police Department stated that an officer witnessed the fatal traffic collision at 4:52 p.m. at the intersection of Euclid Street and Slater Avenue.

A white 2022 Toyota Camry traveling north on Euclid crashed into a white 2008 Dodge Caravan, which had been turning left from the southbound lanes of Euclid onto Slater. Additional officers responded to the scene and were able to extricate the driver of the Camry, a 51-year-old man from Costa Mesa. The vehicle had caught fire, police said. The driver of the Camry was taken to a local hospital to be treated for “significant” head injuries, police said.
