A 60-year-old Irvine man was killed after a metal object struck his car while he was driving on the 55 freeway, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol reported that William Donovan was driving his Toyota in the No. 1 lane of the northbound 55 freeway when a metal object crashed through his windshield and hit him in the head. Donovan was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana with major head trauma, and died a short time later.
CHP investigators said the metal object that struck and killed Donovan is suspected of coming from another vehicle and are asking anyone with information about the accident to call 714-567-6000.
