An 86-year-old woman has died from injuries sustained in an SUV rollover crash late last month on the 91 freeway in Anaheim.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the driver of a 1996 Ford Explorer traveling east on the 91 freeway lost control of the vehicle just past the Imperial Highway off-ramp. The SUV swerved onto the right shoulder and overturned, rolling several times and ejecting three of the six people in the SUV.
All of the passengers were taken to UCI Medical Center, where one of them — Maria Rangel, 68, of Santa Ana — later died. Josefina Rangel, 86, survived the crash with serious injuries but died two weeks following the crash at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
