Two Killed, Three Critically Injured in Anaheim Crash After Red-Light Run, Police Say

Police cite traffic-camera video to counter chase claims.

Overview

  • The four-car collision at Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard early Tuesday around 12:45 a.m. left two people dead and three in critical condition.
  • Video reviewed by detectives shows a silver Infiniti running a red light and getting hit by a blue sedan, which pushed it into a red Toyota Camry.
  • Officers say they tried to catch up to the Infiniti to make a traffic stop after seeing it drive erratically, and they maintain they never began a pursuit.
  • Police identified the people killed as the Infiniti’s front-right passenger and the Camry’s driver, while two teenage girls riding in the Infiniti were among those hospitalized in critical condition.
  • Investigators are reconstructing the crash and testing for possible intoxicants, and the intersection reopened to traffic shortly after 7 a.m.
