Two killed in crash on 405 Freeway in Irvine

Two people died in a collision on the 405 Freeway in Irvine on Tuesday, Oct. 29.

Paramedics responded at 9:52 p.m. to the crash reported in northbound lanes near Irvine Center Drive, Orange County Fire Authority spokeswoman Colleen Windsor said. Coroner’s officials were summoned to the scene about 13 minutes later, incident logs from the California Highway Patrol show.

The identities of the two people killed in the collision were not immediately released.

Officials did not immediately discus the events leading up to the crash. However, preliminary information from the CHP log suggested that a vehicle with two occupants struck a sign and somehow came to rest on top of the center divider of the freeway.
