A suspected DUI driver struck and killed a woman who was out for a walk in Anaheim Tuesday night, according to the Anaheim Police Department.
The crash happened sometime around 8:30 p.m. near the intersection of Rio Vista Street and Wagner Avenue. There, the speeding driver of a silver Mercedes barreled into a fence and onto a walking path, where the pedestrian was taking her stroll. The car came to a stop after it landed in a shallow body of water.“My wife heard a crash and it sounded like someone dropped a washing machine out their truck,” said Al Sack, who lives in Anaheim.
Sgt. Matt Sutter of the Anaheim Police Department said first responders learned the crash may have been a fatality after a man approached them letting them know his wife was unaccounted for after going for a walk.“During our investigation, an Anaheim resident came up to us and said that his wife had went for a walk and she had not returned,” Sgt. Sutter said.
The driver and passenger of the car that struck the woman were taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries. The driver has since been detained.Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
