A 28-year-old Santa Ana man has died after his car was struck by a minivan driven by an unlicensed driver, according to a news report.
Santa Ana police said that Scott Lusk was turning left onto Highland Street from South Main when his 1994 Volvo was hit by a 2006 Mazda minivan driven by an unlicensed teenager who was driving at a high rate of speed. Lusk was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, where he died several hours after the collision.
Investigators said that the teenager crossed lanes before hitting the Volvo, and both cars came to rest on the left side of Main Street. The Mazda had three passengers, including two juveniles and one adult. No one in the van was injured. Police said the teen driver had been drinking prior to the crash but did not test above the legal limit of 0.08 percent blood alcohol content. Potential charges are pending the ongoing investigation.
