CHP says Corona man killed fleeing accident scene on 55

SANTA ANA – A suspected hit-and-run driver running across the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway early Friday morning didn't get far. He was struck by another hit-and- run driver, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The dead man was identified by the Orange County coroner's office as David Anthony, 39, of Corona.

Investigators believe Anthony was involved in a two-car accident about 2:14 a.m. while driving north on the freeway.

Attempting to flee, Anthony ran across the freeway and down the northbound MacArthur Boulevard onramp, where he was hit, said CHP Officer Chris Johnson. The vehicle drove away, leaving the man lying on the onramp.

Anthony was hit a second time by another vehicle as he lay on the ground, Johnson said.

The driver of that vehicle tried to swerve to avoid hitting Anthony, Johnson said.

Unlike the first driver, this one stopped and waited for officers to arrive.

Anthony was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not determined whether he was alive when he was hit by the second car.
