Boy, 3, Killed After Dashing Into Street
A 3-year-old boy died Sunday of injuries suffered when he was struck by an oncoming car after darting into the street from behind a parked ice cream truck, police said.
The child, Gino Lusca of Anaheim, was hit by a car about 3 p.m. Saturday in the 600 block of Rosslynn Avenue, Fullerton Police Lt. Mike Stedman said.
The vehicle was westbound on Rosslynn, a residential street, at a speed of about 30 m.p.h., Stedman said. The child stepped from behind the ice cream truck and “darted across the street in front of the car,” he said.
The child’s family was visiting in the neighborhood and on the scene when police arrived.
Police declined to identify the driver of the vehicle, who was neither cited nor arrested, Stedman said.
The child died at UCI Medical Center in Orange.
