Pedestrian ID'd In Fountain Valley Fatal Crash

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA — The Orange County Coroner's office released the identity of a 49-year-old Costa Mesa resident on Wednesday, following a Tuesday morning collision that injured one other.

Christian Swanson, a resident of Costa Mesa, was a pedestrian crossing the street at Warner Avenue and Euclid Street. He died at the scene, the OC Coroner's office said.

Paramedics and firefighters were dispatched at just after 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, where a pickup truck hit Swanson. Another person who was hurt was rushed to a hospital, according to a Metronet fire dispatcher. It is unknown at this time if that was another pedestrian, or the driver.
