Toddler Killed, Mother Critical in Anaheim Hit-and-Run
ANAHEIM, Calif. (KTLA) — Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver following a horrific accident in Anaheim that killed a toddler and left her mother critically injured.
It happened Wednesday night in the 9500 block of Guinida Street, near Gilbert Street.
A mother pushing her 3-year-old daughter in a stroller was hit in a crosswalk by an out-of-control car.
The child was killed, and the mother remains hospitalized in critical condition.
“We only saw the mother,” witness Gloria Gonzalez told KTLA. “Not realizing, my husband turned around and said, ‘Oh my God, there’s a child!'”
“The child was thrown on the opposite side of the mother,” Gonzalez said.
The impact sent the mother about 40 feet to the middle of the street. The child and pieces of the stroller were sent another 30 feet to the curb.
“The little girl was just face down, and blood started forming by her head,” witness Jesse Gonzalez said.
“I went down… she was still warm… I went to feel for a pulse, and I didn’t feel anything,” Gloria Gonzalez said.
Police say the vehicle involved in the crash, a Nissan Maxima, was stolen from Stanton.
CHP officers found the car about a mile away from where the accident happened, with its windshield shattered and bumper broken.
Residents say the intersection at Guinida and Gilbert has a history of speeding cars, near-misses and unanswered complaints.
“It’s very unsafe to cross here,” one woman told KTLA. “People just keep flying by and nobody stops.”

Girl seriously hurt in hit-and-run improving
SANTA ANA – A 13-year-old girl injured by a hit-and-run driver while riding her bicycle remained in critical condition Wednesday but is expected to recover, police said.
Peter Pham said his daughter, Teresa, was wearing a helmet while riding her bike to her cousin’s house to do homework when she was struck.
“She is doing better,” Pham said Wednesday morning while on his way to visit his daughter at the hospital. Teresa suffered broken bones and cuts to her face, he said.
Teresa was riding through a crosswalk at the intersection of West Warner Avenue and South Greenville Street when she was struck by an unidentified vehicle about 7 p.m. Monday, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
The driver fled before police arrived.
“Someone left her lying in the roadway with no regard for her safety or her condition,” Bertagna said.
In addition to trying to identify the driver, police are also trying to find a man who rendered first aid to Teresa.
“We believe he is a potential witness to who hit her and would like to talk to him,” Bertagna said, adding that based on the damage to the bike and debris left behind, Teresa was struck by a small car – not an SUV or a truck.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the vehicle that left the scene to call Santa Ana traffic detectives at 714-245-8214.

Man killed in I-280 crash in Daly City
DALY CITY — A man was killed Saturday morning when he got out of his car after an accident on Interstate 280 and was struck by other vehicles, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
David Hanna, 27, apparently was standing or walking when he was struck at around 4:30 a.m. by a vehicle traveling south on I-280 near Eastmoor Avenue in Daly City. He subsequently was hit by at least one other vehicle, and North County Fire Authority personnel who arrived on the scene found the victim pinned under a car blocking two lanes of the freeway. The subsequent investigation closed all but one southbound lane until nearly 8 a.m.
About 4:30 a.m., the man was southbound on the freeway near Eastmoor Avenue when he lost control of his Toyota Camry and struck a cement wall on the right shoulder, Tam said.
He got out of his car but then was struck by several other vehicles on the freeway, authorities said.
One motorist stopped to check on the man, but several others kept driving, Tam said.
“It’s not unreasonable to hit something in the dark and not know it was a person,” he said. “We’re not sure exactly how many vehicles struck him.”
All but one southbound lane was closed at 4:55 a.m., police said.
