A 54-year-old Garden Grove man was seriously injured after being hit by one car and then dragged more than 700 feet by a second vehicle, according to a news report.
Garden Grove police reported that Gregory Martin was first hit by a Dodge Magnum traveling south on West Street near Acacia Avenue, then struck by an SUV that was traveling in the same direction and dragged more than 700 feet. Martin was trapped under the SUV until the driver stopped the vehicle. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
Police said that the driver of the Magnum fled the scene but later turned herself in to police. Guadalupe Quinonez, 29, of Santa Ana, was arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, driving with a suspended license and child endangerment. Quinonez’s 7-year-old daughter was in the car at the time of the accident.
