A 95-year-old woman has died after being involved in a collision Today, at 9:12 a.m., the Irvine Police Department (IPD) and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) responded to a three-vehicle traffic collision at the intersection of Irvine Center Drive and Valley Oak.
The preliminary investigation determined the driver was driving their Toyota Rav-4 westbound on Irvine Center Drive towards Valley Oak. She entered the intersection when a red light was showing in her direction of travel.
A Dodge Ram and a Tesla 3 Series were traveling northbound on Valley Oak into the intersection of Irvine Center Drive on a green traffic signal. The Rav-4 and the Dodge collided in the intersection. The impact caused the Dodge to travel toward the Tesla, traveling to the left of the Dodge, and the two vehicles collided.
OCFA responded and assisted the parties involved. The driver of the Rav-4 was injured and transported to the hospital. This afternoon, the Orange County Sheriff’s Coroner notified IPD that the woman had died at the hospital. The driver’s name will not be released until the family is notified.
Anyone with information about the collision is asked to contact Detective David Juarez at 949-724-7047. IPD’s Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) is investigating the collision.
