A Fountain Valley man has been killed after the car he was driving struck a street sweeper that was stopped at an intersection.
Dennis Schenk, 55, was driving a 2010 Hyundai north on Beach Boulevard in Stanton when he crashed into the side of the street sweeper, which was stopped at the intersection of Beach and Catherine Ave. Investigators from the Orange County Sheriff Department’s Major Accident Reconstruction team are investigating the crash, and hypothesized that the sweeper may have been stopped while it waited for traffic to clear before turning into the southbound lanes of Beach Blvd.
Schenk was pronounced dead at the scene.
