ONTARIO >> A woman died and two children were injured in a crash Wednesday afternoon.
Shortly before 2 p.m., a 73-year-old Ontario woman driving a Ford Taurus sedan with her two granddaughters as passengers, ages 10 and 8, left a 7-Eleven convenience store at 2945 South Vineyard Avenue.
When the vehicle pulled out into traffic on Vineyard Avenue, it was broad-sided by a black Chevrolet Tahoe SUV driven by a 27-year-old Ontario woman, police said.
Initially, witness information led police to believe the crash was head-on, but as the investigation progressed they discovered that wasn’t the case. The woman was pronounced dead at the location, and her grandaughters were taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Police don’t believe drugs or alcohol attributed to the crash.
The woman driving the SUV received minor injuries, police added.
