COSTA MESA >> California Highway Patrol officers are searching for the driver of a white sedan who they say fled from a traffic collision that killed two people on the 405 Freeway in Santa Ana on Friday, Jan. 5.

The accident occurred at about 8:30 p.m. on the northbound 405 just north of Harbor Boulevard, when a silver Audi traveling at a high rate of speed made a lane change and collided with a Dodge Challenger before crashing into the center divider, according to the CHP.

Authorities said the Audi came to rest in the carpool lane and was hit by a Mercury sedan, causing the Audi’s driver, a 42-year-old man, to be ejected onto the freeway.

The man was then hit by a white sedan, which fled the scene, authorities said. The man and a passenger in the Audi, a 46-year-old woman, both died from their injuries. Their names were not released pending notification of next of kin, authorities said.

The sedan would have damage to the front of the vehicle, authorities said. Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer D. Backton at (714) 567-6000.
