A man riding his bike was killed in a Garden Grove collision on Monday.
The Orange County Register reports 71-year old Garden Grove resident Eliseo Quiroz was struck by the driver of a Hyundai Accent at 4:53 pm in the 12700 block of Buaro Street.
Quiroz was trapped underneath the car, which continued on to strike two parked cars. He was taken to UCI Medical Center after responding officers and bystanders lifted the car off him, where he was pronounced dead at 5:28 pm.
No word on how the collision occurred, though police don’t believe drugs or alcohol use was a factor.
A street view shows a narrow, two-lane residential street with parking on both sides.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Garden Grove Police Department at 714/741-5823.
This is the 29th bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the fourth in Orange County. He is also the 6th bike rider to die in Garden Grove since 2011.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for Eliseo Quiroz and all this family.
Thanks to Bill Sellin for the heads-up.
