A man was killed and another person injured after a car crashed into a power pole in Anaheim on Wednesday night, October 29, 2025.
The crash occurred just before 10 p.m. at North Muller Street and West Bayport Circle. Anaheim police and firefighters responded to the scene and found the two people trapped inside a Toyota Corolla.
The passenger, believed to be a 19-year-old man, was transported to a hospital, where he later died. The 18-year-old driver was recovering at the hospital, according to Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter.
Authorities reported that alcohol and nitrous oxide were allegedly found in the vehicle, and driving under the influence is believed to be a factor in the crash. The Corolla had its driver’s side pinned against the power pole. Firefighters had to cut the roof off the vehicle to free the driver.
The crash occurred in a mixed residential and commercial area, south of the 5 Freeway. The identity of the passenger is being withheld pending notification of his relatives. Whether the driver will face criminal charges remains unclear.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
