A car struck three Anaheim high school girls who were crossing the street while walking home from school, sending all three to UCI Medical Center in Orange with moderate injuries.
According to a news report, the three girls were attempting to cross in the 1700 block of West Ball Road and were not in a marked crosswalk when they were hit by a Dodge Neon. The driver told police that he was not able to see the girls because a vehicle making a U-turn blocked his view.
After striking all three girls, the Neon crashed into the back of a parked pick-up truck, sustaining further damage to the vehicle. The male driver remained at the scene following the accident and was not injured.
The girls are all students at Loara High School in Anaheim.
