Anaheim Cyclist Killed in Accident
A car struck and killed a 34-year-old Anaheim man late Tuesday as he crossed traffic lanes on his bicycle, police said.
An 18-year-old Fullerton woman was southbound in the 1300 block of South Euclid Street when she struck Javier Baltazar. He had been riding north and was trying to cross southbound traffic lanes on his bike, Lt. Ray Welch said.
Paramedics from an Anaheim Fire Department station across the street from the scene rushed to Baltazar’s aid, but he was pronounced dead at Western Medical Center-Anaheim from head and back injuries, Welch said.
An investigation into the accident is continuing, he said.
