2 women killed after being struck by BMW in Orange County intersection

An investigation is underway after two women were struck and killed by a driver in Orange County on Monday night. Dispatchers received multiple 911 calls around 9 p.m. reporting that a BMW had hit two pedestrians at the intersection of Magnolia and Cerritos avenues in Stanton, an Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson confirmed. When deputies arrived, they found two women down in the street who had been struck by the vehicle. Both victims were taken to a nearby hospital, where they were pronounced dead, according to the spokesperson. The victims’ identities have not been released, but one woman was said to be in her 30s and the other in her 60s. Any relationship between the two was not immediately known. The driver remained at the scene and had not been arrested as of early Tuesday morning. Video from the scene showed a white BMW with a shattered front windshield and a crumpled hood. It was unclear whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash, the spokesperson said.
