Wrong-Way Driver Fatally Struck in Anaheim on SR-241

Early Sunday morning, on September 22, 2024, at 2:24 AM in Anaheim, a wrong-way driver was killed after colliding with another vehicle and walking into traffic on the southbound SR-241 Freeway.

Reports indicated that the wrong-way driver crashed into a vehicle on the SR-241, just south of the SR-91 interchange. After the crash, the driver exited her car and was fatally struck by an oncoming vehicle.

A third car also sustained damage in the series of collisions, though the exact order of events remains unclear.

No other injuries were reported, and the southbound lanes of the SR-241 were closed at the SR-91 while authorities conducted their investigation.
