Woman, 59, Dies of Injuries in Irvine Car Crash
A Garden Grove woman was killed Thursday when her car collided with a pickup after one of the motorists ran a red light, police said.
Susan Soon Song, 59, died at Western Medical Center-Santa Ana from head and chest injuries, Irvine Police Sgt. Denny Jenner said.
Song was traveling west on Alton Parkway in Irvine about 4:30 a.m. in a sedan that crashed into a pickup driven by Todd Ballard Nelson, 34, of Irvine, Jenner said.
The truck overturned, but Nelson was not injured because he was wearing a seat belt and the vehicle’s air bags inflated, Jenner said.
Police are investigating which driver was at fault. No citation was issued pending further investigation.
