A 6-year-old boy and his 51-year-old grandmother have been killed in a Santa Ana pedestrian accident, according to a news report.
Santa Ana police said that Carmen Teresa Silva was walking with her grandson, Alan Martinez, and granddaughter Mia Martinez, 7, in an unmarked crosswalk when they were hit by a Ford F-250 pickup truck that was pulling away from a four-way stop at Central Avenue and Ramona Drive. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene; his grandmother died later at Western Medical Center. Mia Martinez was not injured.
The pickup driver – a 17-year-old male – has not been cited in the accident, and the investigation is continuing.
