A 13-year-old student was injured this morning when he was hit by two cars. The boy was walking to Santiago Middle School when a Toyota 4Runner struck him. The impact of the Orange, California car crash pushed him into the path of Land Rover Discovery, which also hit him. He was transported to Western Medical Center for treatment of his moderate trauma injuries.
Also today, a woman was fatally injured in a Lake Forest car crash. The victim was driving a 2009 Hyundai Accent when her vehicle crashed with a 2007 Toyota Tacoma. She was pronounced dead at Mission Hospital.
Huntington Beach police say that earlier this week, a 44-year-old bicyclist was left in critical condition after he was struck by a car along the Pacific Highway Coast on Sunday night. Newport Beach resident Glenn M. Moore, the driver of the Honda Accord that struck 44-year-old Richard Lauwers, was apprehended and booked on suspicion of causing injury while driving under the influence. One witness says that the Accord and a 2006 BMW sedan had been racing right before the traffic crash happened. The vehicles collided and drove down an embankment, which was where the Accord struck the cyclist.
On Sunday morning, 18-year-old Paige Armstrong-Maltos was killed in a traffic crash on I-5 close to Crown Valley Parkway. The Concordia University student was a passenger in a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria that collided into another vehicle and then crashed out of control. The driver of the Crown Victoria, a 24-year-old Costa Mesa male resident, was reportedly moving at a high speed. The vehicle rolled over several times and Armstrong-Maltos was ejected from the vehicle.
