A tragic four-vehicle crash in Anaheim claimed the lives of two individuals early on March 31, 2026. The collision occurred just before 1:00 a.m. at the intersection of Anaheim Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue. According to police, officers had observed a silver Infiniti sedan driving erratically shortly before the crash. When officers attempted to locate the vehicle, the driver turned off the headlights and fled the area. Authorities confirmed that no formal pursuit was initiated.
Moments later, the Infiniti reportedly ran a red light at the intersection and collided with three other vehicles. One of the vehicles struck was a red Toyota Camry driven by a 70-year-old man. The driver of that vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Family members later identified him as a father and grandfather who was returning home from work at the time of the crash.
The second fatal victim was a 14-year-old passenger in the Infiniti. Friends and loved ones described the teen as kind, outgoing, and well-liked by those who knew him. The 19-year-old driver of the Infiniti sustained critical injuries and was transported to the hospital. Two additional teenage passengers were also hospitalized and are expected to recover.
Police reported that a total of four vehicles were involved in the crash, with several other individuals suffering minor injuries. Investigators are working to determine why the driver fled and whether impairment played a role. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby city cameras as part of the investigation. The incident remains under active investigation as officials work to determine all contributing factors.
