A devastating crash in Anaheim early Tuesday, March 31, 2026, resulted in the deaths of two individuals and left several others injured. The collision occurred at the intersection of Anaheim Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue. Authorities reported that the crash was caused by a driver who ran a red light while attempting to evade police.
One of the victims was identified as 70-year-old Alberto Viveros, an Orange County resident who was driving through the intersection at the time. The second victim was 14-year-old Andrew Joseph Sanchez, who was a passenger in the suspect vehicle. According to investigators, the suspect vehicle was a silver Infiniti sedan.
Police stated that officers initially observed the Infiniti driving erratically at a high rate of speed nearby. When officers attempted to catch up, the driver turned off the vehicle’s lights and accelerated away. Authorities confirmed that no official police pursuit had been initiated prior to the crash.
Moments later, the Infiniti ran a red light and collided with multiple vehicles, triggering a violent chain-reaction crash. Witnesses described hearing a loud impact shortly after observing the vehicle speeding through the area. Several other individuals were injured in the collision, including two teenage passengers in the Infiniti.
The driver of the Infiniti sustained serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. Officials indicated that it remains unclear whether the driver will face charges due to the severity of his condition. Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash as the case remains under active review.
