Tustin man hit by two vehicles, dies in Orange

A 29-year-old Tustin man died Friday evening in Orange after two vehicles struck him while he crossed a street, authorities said.

The man had been walking at about 6 p.m. along The City Drive South between Justice Center Way and Outlets Drive near the Outlets at Orange shopping center, Orange police said.

As the man began to cross the street outside of the crosswalk, an Acura moving south hit the man, police said. Sometime after, a second vehicle traveled by and struck the Tustin resident a second time.

The first driver had stayed behind to speak with authorities, however, the driver of the second vehicle drove away, continuing to drive south on The City Drive South following the crash, police said. The second vehicle was described only as white.

Fire paramedics transported the man to a local hospital where he died shortly after, police said. His name was not made public as of Saturday evening.

Though it was unclear which collision had killed the 29-year-old, both vehicles had significantly struck the man, Orange police Sgt. Phil McMullin said.
