A man was killed early Monday when his car struck a truck and trailer on the Santa Ana Freeway in Anaheim, flipped over and was hit by another motorist near Harbor Boulevard, authorities said.
Angel Borjas-Valladares, 19, of Los Angeles, was driving alone when he collided with the back of the trailer about 5 a.m. in the southbound lanes, said an Orange County coroner’s spokesman.
Four lanes of the freeway were shut down, snarling predawn traffic during the investigation and accident cleanup.
