A 29-year-old Tustin man died the evening of Friday, January 15 in Orange after two vehicles struck him while he crossed a street.
According to police, the man had been walking at about 6 p.m. along The City Drive South between Justice Center Way and Outlets Drive near the Outlets at Orange shopping center.
As the man began to cross the street outside of the crosswalk, an Acura moving south hit the man. Sometime after, a second vehicle traveled by and struck the Tustin resident a second time.
The first driver had stayed behind to speak with authorities, however, the driver of the second vehicle fled the scene of the fatal pedestrian accident, continuing to drive south on The City Drive South following the crash. The second vehicle was described only as white.
Fire paramedics transported the man to a local hospital where he tragically passed away from his injuries.
Though it was unclear which collision had killed the 29-year-old, both vehicles had significantly struck the man.
