A 37-year-old man who lost control of his car and crashed into an electrical pole was killed along with his female passenger and three children were seriously injured, according to a news report.
Santa Ana police said that Alfonso Guzman and Guillermina Millan-Guadarrama, 37, were killed when Guzman crashed his sedan into a pole in the 200 block of West 5th Street. Witnesses reported that Guzman had been speeding at up to 80 mph and lost control of his car when he attempted to swerve around a vehicle that was preparing to turn left onto English Street. Guzman’s vehicle hit a curb, sheared off a metal street sign, went airborne and cut an electrical power pole in half before flipping over.
Guzman and Millan-Guadarrama were pronounced dead at the scene. Millan-Guadarrama’s three children, ages 2, 6 and 10, were taken to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
