 On Wednesday April 16, 2014, at about 9:13 PM, Arcadia Police Officers and Arcadia Fire Paramedics 
responded to an injury traffic collision at the intersection of Gate 1 of the Westfield Santa Anita 
Mall and Huntington Drive. Two adult men were treated and transported to Huntington Memorial 
Hospital with serious injuries. Unfortunately, a 78-year-old Arcadia man, died at the hospital as a 
result of injuries sustained in the collision. The second man is a 76-year-old Arcadia resident who 
sustained moderate injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening at this time. 
Preliminary investigation revealed that two adult men were walking from the northwest corner of 
the intersection in a southeast direction across Westbound Huntington Drive, well outside of the 
designated north/south crosswalk on the east side of the intersection. The intersection is normally 
controlled by a lighted traffic signal, but the traffic signal was not working at the time of this collision 
due to a power outage affecting the area. 
The driver of the vehicle, who is a 19-year-old Arcadia man, stopped at the scene of the collision. The 
driver is not being held at this time. 
The cause of the collision is under investigation by the Arcadia Police Department Major Accident 
Investigation Team. Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to contact the Arcadia
