FULLERTON, CA (June 13, 2024) — A tragic incident happened in Fullerton, Orange County late Wednesday night, when a motorcyclist was killed in a collision. Fullerton Police responded to the scene at the intersection of Gilbert Street and Orangethorpe Avenue around 9:45 p.m., where a motorcyclist traveling northbound was struck by an eastbound vehicle.

The impact caused the motorcycle to become lodged under the car, which continued for several hundred feet before a good Samaritan intervened to stop the driver. Tragically, the motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the car was arrested after failing a field sobriety test conducted by the police, heightening the tragedy with suspicions of DUI. The incident did not end there; later in the night, a police cruiser involved in the investigation at the scene was hit by a Tesla, causing significant damage to the vehicle. Fortunately, the officer near the cruiser managed to evade injury by moving out of harm’s way.

The Fullerton Police Department is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Fullerton DUI accident and Tesla crash . This series of unfortunate events highlights the critical dangers of driving under the influence and the ripple effects such actions can have on the community.
