Boy Injured in Car-Van Crash
A 5-year-old riding in the back seat of his family’s car was being treated for major head injuries Sunday after a collision with a van at an Anaheim intersection.
The boy was sitting behind his father, Fai Nip Leung, 47, when the accident occurred about 3:30 p.m. at Anaheim Boulevard and Santa Ana Street, authorities said. He was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange and was listed in critical condition late Sunday.
