Santa Ana Police Department Advisory:  87 year-old male drives vehicle into medical building

At 1018 AM, an 87 year-old male drove to the medical building at 999 North Tustin for an appointment. As he was pulling into a handicapped parking stall, he accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake. The vehicle, a 4-door Lexus, went over the parking stop, down a small slope and collided into “Diamond Medical Office”, Suite 13.

The vehicle went into the building through large glass walls and came to rest half way inside. A doctor and adult female patient sustained minor injuries from glass and debris. The driver was not injured.
