Man dies after two-car collision in Huntington Beach – Orange County Register

A 55-year-old man who reportedly ran a red light near a major intersection in Huntington Beach was killed Friday evening, July 5, when he was struck by two cars, authorities said.

Huntington Beach police were called to the area between Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard around 10 p.m. and found the man in the street, HBPD spokeswoman Jessica Cuchilla said. He died at the hospital.

Police learned the man, a Huntington Beach resident, was crossing Warner Avenue west of Beach Boulevard and was outside a crosswalk when he was struck by a Lexus sedan in the right eastbound lane, Cuchilla said. Moments later, the man was struck by a Ford sedan in the middle lane.

The drivers of both cars remained and cooperated with investigators, Cuchilla said. Neither driver was suspected of driving while impaired, and no arrests were made.

The identity of the pedestrian was not disclosed by the police until his relatives were notified.

The accident was the second in Huntington Beach in two days. On July 4, a 27-year-old motorcyclist from West Covina died in a collision involving a pickup truck and a car on the Pacific Coast Highway.

The woman was traveling westbound and changing lanes when she lost control and collided with the pickup truck in the left lane and the car in the center lane east of Coral Cay Lane, Cuchilla said Friday. The crash happened about 11 a.m. Thursday.

The woman later died in hospital, the spokeswoman said. It is not known whether an impairment contributed to the accident.
