Pedestrian Traffic Collision

A pedestrian crossing the street at Orangewood Avenue and Los Alamitos Boulevard sustained serious injuries after being struck by a maroon Honda Civic early this morning at approximately 6:51 A.M. The driver of the Honda Civic was making a left turn from Orangewood Avenue onto Los Alamitos Boulevard when she collided with an adult pedestrian attempting to cross the street in the crosswalk at the time of the collision. The pedestrian was treated by members of the Orange County Fire Authority and was subsequently transported to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the collision. The Los Alamitos Police Department is asking that anyone who may have witnessed the collision contact Traffic Sergeant Maria O’Connell at (562) 431-2255, extension 418 with information.
