One person was tragically killed Friday morning following a crash on the northbound 241 Toll Road in Rancho Santa Margarita, Orange County.
Police report that the collision occurred when a Ford van was stopped on 241, just south of the toll plaza, when it was struck from behind by a Ford F450 truck that was traveling at approximately 75 mph.
The terrible crash resulted in one person being ejected from the van. Tragically, first responders declared the person dead at the scene of the fatal accident.
Another second person in the van was injured and taken to Orange County Global Medical Center where they were treated for minor injuries.
