An 8-year-old Sequoia Elementary School third-grader described as “just an awesome boy” died after being struck by an SUV while he was riding his bike to school in Westminster.
Andrew “A.J.” Brumback was riding westbound on Iroquois when he was hit by a Ford Freestyle SUV that was traveling southbound on Choctaw. He was taken to Huntington Beach Medical Center with serious injuries, and died there shortly after arrival. Investigators said they are trying to determine who had the right of way, but have made no arrests and said that alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the fatal accident.
Andrew was only 100 feet from his Westminster home when he was killed. His parents say the community has rallied around the family, and a makeshift memorial at the site of the fatal crash continues to grow with candles, flowers, messages and stuffed animals. Members of the family and the community plan to hold a series of fund raising events to donate money in A.J.’s memory to the school’s library.
