FULLERTON, Calif.—A man died Sunday when his speeding sedan struck a car that turned in front of him in a Fullerton intersection.
The crash occurred at 2:47 p.m. at Harbor Boulevard and La Entrada Place, according to Fullerton police Capt. Jon Radus.
The initial investigation revealed that a speeding dark gray Kia Forte was northbound on Harbor Boulevard when it struck a gray Volkswagen Passat that was turning left onto La Entrada from southbound Harbor, Radus said.
“The force of the collision caused both vehicles to hit a wall on the northeast corner of the intersection, spin out and come to rest north of the intersection near a bus bench,” he said.
The 29-year-old man driving the Kia sedan was pronounced dead at the scene, his name will not be released until next of kin are notified, Radus said.
The driver and passenger from the Passat were hospitalized for treatment of minor injuries, he said.
The passenger of a red Dodge Neon whose driver lost control while trying to avoid the crash was also taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
“While accident investigators are working to determine the cause of the collision, they do not believe alcohol or drugs played a part,” Radus said.
Anyone with information or who may have captured the crash on video was asked to call Accident Investigator Joshua Manes at 714-738-6812 or [email protected].
