Santa Ana : Motorcycle Accident Claims Second Life
A Santa Ana man died Wednesday of injuries he suffered in a Monday afternoon motorcycle accident that also claimed the life of a female companion, authorities said.
Jorge Sagrero, 20, was pronounced dead at 1:30 p.m. at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, where he was taken after the accident in the 1900 block of McFadden Avenue, a spokesman for the coroner’s office said.
