    • June 26, 2023

    A homeless man in his 40s was struck and killed by a vehicle Sunday morning in Garden Grove, authorities said.

    The woman behind the wheel of the truck that struck the pedestrian suffered head and legs injuries when the vehicle struck a tree. She was the lone occupant inside the vehicle, said Garden Grove police Sgt. Lino Santana.

    Officers dispatched about 1:10 a.m. to Chapman Avenue and Nelson Street, west of Euclid Street, reported that the woman had been trapped inside her truck  on Chapman Avenue, east of Nelson Avenue, Santana said.

    “As officers continued to arrive on scene, they observed a deceased male approximately 75 yards east from the traffic collision, on the southeast corner of Chapman Avenue and Diane Street,” he said.

    The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The motorist remained in the hospital Sunday evening and an update on her condition was not known.

    Drugs or alcohol were believed to have been a factor in the driver crashing, Santana said. No arrests had been announced Sunday evening.
