A 63-year-old man was killed in a vehicle-pedestrian collision on Chapman Avenue west of Euclid Street in Garden Grove on the afternoon of Sept. 29, 2026. The driver, operating a tan 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, struck the man in the 10900 block of Chapman Avenue at approximately 3:48 p.m. A Garden Grove Police Department officer witnessed the collision and immediately rendered aid alongside additional officers. OCFA paramedics transported the victim to UCI Medical Center in Orange, where he was pronounced dead.

The driver remained at the scene and is described by GGPD as cooperative with investigators. The department's Neighborhood Traffic Unit is leading the investigation. As of Oct. 4, 2026, no arrest has been announced and no cause — such as impairment or excessive speed — has been publicly identified. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner has not released the victim's name; any name circulating on legal-marketing or aggregator sites should be treated as unverified.

GGPD is asking anyone with direct knowledge of the crash or video footage to contact Investigator Thomas Reed at (714) 741-5230 or thomasr@ggcity.org.

The investigation is ongoing. A coroner's identification of the victim and any determination of charges against the driver would represent the next expected public developments. No roadway closures or ongoing traffic impacts have been reported at this location.
