An elderly man crossing an Anaheim street in a power scooter was struck by a car and killed, according to a news report.
Anaheim police said that Herbert Hamilton, 84, of Anaheim, was riding his power scooter across Lincoln Avenue at Clementine Street when he was hit by a white Dodge Caravan. Officials said they were investigating whether or not Hamilton was in the crosswalk and who had the right of way in the fatal accident. The driver of the Caravan remained at the scene to be interviewed by police.
Hamilton was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead about three hours after the accident.
