A 62-year-old La Mirada man has been killed after his SUV collided with a pickup truck and rolled over, ejecting him from the vehicle, according to a news report.
Fullerton police said that Lawrence Kiehl was driving a 1982 Chevrolet Blazer west on Commonwealth Avenue when he collided with a 1997 Ford Ranger pickup that was traveling south on Brookhurst Street. The impact caused the Blazer to roll several times and eject Kiehl, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said that one of the vehicles apparently ran a red light prior to the collision, but were not sure which one. A third vehicle — a Toyota Sienna — was side-swiped by the rolling SUV. The drivers of the Ford pickup and the Toyota were not injured.
