Santa Ana Police Department

Advisory: SAPD Traffic Investigation- fatal collision Bristol/Central driver arrested DUI

ARRESTED: Herbert Granados Calderon (23) Santa Ana

On 10/25/14 at approximately 2121 hours, officers responded to a traffic collision at Bristol St. and Central Av. Officers arrived on scene and located three vehicles that were involved in the collision. Each vehicle had multiple passengers and there were several injuries. Paramedics further determined that an 18 year old male passenger in a Honda had been killed in the collision.

A Lexus traveled southbound on Bristol St. and failed to stop at the red light at Central Av. The Lexus broadsided a Honda and the force of that collision caused the Honda to collide with a Chevrolet pick-up truck.

The driver of the Lexus was found to be driving his vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He was also driving on a suspended license and his license had been previously suspended for DUI.

Any witnesses to the collision are asked to contact Investigator Hadley from the Santa Ana Police Department Collision Investigation Unit at (714) 245-8216.
