A pedestrian was killed when they were hit by a possibly drunk driver who drove their car off the road and into the Santa Ana River in Anaheim on Tuesday evening.
It happened at a little after 6:30 p.m. near E. Wagner Avenue and S. Rio Vista Street, according to the Anaheim Police Department.
Crews arrived at the scene to find a car that had landed in two feet of water in the Santa Ana River after veering off the road, police said. They're investigating the driver as possibly being under the influence of an unknown suspect when the crash happened.
Both the driver and a passenger were able to exit the car under their own power, according to Anaheim Fire Department crews.
Video from the scene shows that the car drove through a fence that runs along a pedestrian walkway near the riverbed.

While on scene, officers received information on a woman that was reported missing in the area. They say that her husband called to say that she had gone for a walk along the riverbed but had not returned home.
They discovered a body in some bushes at the scene, but are working to determine if it's related to the crash.
Investigators believe that the car was traveling over 40 miles per hour when the crash occurred.
Well, he was or he wasn't.

This is the part holding my attention...
Man, those unknown suspects sure are influential ........
Has anyone ever seen a more poorly written news piece? I don’t think I have.
I had to read that headline three times.
I was afraid I was the only one.
Another example of why the current practitioners of journalism cannot be trusted to give accurate information to the public.
The victim saw the driver but not the car and consequently didn’t get out of the way.
The pedestrian must have carried a card in ‘they’s’ wallet designating ‘they’s’ preferred pronouns.
It is hard to believe that someone is paying this individual to write copy.
And obviously he is getting paid so much that they can’t afford a cop editor.
Gotta do something about this automobile violence.
Extremely poorly written. Mush brains.
A DUI written by a DEI hire.
There was water in the Santa Ana River bed?
Just emulating their prophet Kamalalala.

A crash saw a car?
