An 18-year-old woman from Orange was killed trying to cross a neighborhood street in a Garden Grove pedestrian accident, according to a news report.
Garden Grove police said that Sarah Barahona was attempting to cross Haster Street just south of Chapman Avenue outside the crosswalk when she was hit by a man driving a white van. Investigators reported that the driver stayed with Ms. Barahona until paramedics arrived and transported her to a local hospital, where she died.
Police said that the driver was interviewed following the pedestrian accident, and they have ruled out alcohol as a factor in the incident.
