A 28-year-old woman has been killed in a Lake Forest pedestrian accident on Santiago Canyon Road, according to a news report.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department said that Rebecca Borgen was walking along East Santiago Canyon Road in Lake Forest when she was hit by a Toyota SUV near Falcon Street. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
After hitting the victim, the Toyota SUV went down an embankment and flipped upside down. The two women in the SUV — one in her late 50s and the other in her 60s — were rescued from the vehicle after firefighters removed the windshield. Both were taken to Mission Hospital with traumatic injuries.
