A 30-year-old woman has been killed in a five-car collision at an Orange intersection, according to a news report.
Orange police reported that Xuan Tran was driving east on Taft when she ran a red light, triggering the five-car pile-up. Witnesses reported that Tran did not slow down when she reached the intersection of Taft and Tustin Street, where Taft dead-ends. Investigators speculated that her brakes may have failed or she may have lost control of her vehicle.
Tran’s Toyota compact car crashed into a red pickup truck traveling south on Tustin; the red pickup then collided with a white Ford compact and a gold Toyota compact. The driver of a black Dodge compact struck the debris. The driver of the red pickup and the white Ford compact were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
