    • March 14, 2025

    A man in a wheelchair died Thursday after he was struck by a car while crossing a Fullerton intersection.

    The crash occurred around 10:50 p.m. near West Commonwealth Avenue and Library Lane, according to Fullerton police spokesperson Kristy Wells.

    Arriving officers immediately began life-saving measures until relieved by Fullerton Fire Department paramedics, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not released pending notification of relatives.

    The initial investigation revealed the man in the wheelchair tried to cross northbound at the intersection while the traffic signal was red and was struck by a gray Hyundai heading westbound on Commonwealth, Wells said.

    The 41-year-old Fullerton man driving the Hyundai remained at the scene, and police said he was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

    “Investigators did locate alcohol at the scene believed to belong to the pedestrian,” she said.

    Any witnesses with information about the crash are asked to contact Fullerton Police Traffic Accident Investigator Manes at 714-738-6815 or via email at [email protected]. Anonymous tips can be left at Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-TIP-OCCS or occrimestoppers.org.
