A tragic pedestrian crash in Stanton on June 1, 2026, claimed the lives of two women after they were struck by a vehicle late Monday night. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, dispatchers received multiple 911 calls around 9 p.m. reporting that a BMW had hit two pedestrians near the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Cerritos Avenue. Deputies arrived at the scene and found both women lying in the roadway with severe injuries.
Emergency responders transported the victims to a nearby hospital for treatment. Despite lifesaving efforts, both women later succumbed to their injuries.
