A speeding car in Anaheim lost control, jumped a curb and struck students from a nearby high school who were standing on the sidewalk, resulting in two of them being hospitalized.
On Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., officers with the Anaheim Police Department responded to a traffic collision involving pedestrians at State College Boulevard and Wagner Avenue.
Officers discovered that a vehicle driving west on Wagner had gone out of control after turning south on State College, striking pedestrians and a utility pole, said Jon McClintock, public information officer for the police department. .
Video obtained by OC Hawk News shows a group of students standing on the sidewalk next to the Anaheim Tennis Center sign when a screeching blue BMW drives over the sidewalk, crashes into a utility pole and crashes into them.
“Both pedestrians, students at a nearby high school, were transported to local hospitals and are in stable condition,” McClintock said.
The driver remained at the scene and no arrests have been made, he said.
“Speed is a factor [in] the collision and incident remain under investigation,” McClintock said.
The Anaheim Union High School District did not immediately respond to a request for comment on which school the students attended.
