Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others were killed today when a minivan driven by an alleged drunk driver broadsided their car after running a red light, authorities said.
The crash occurred hours after the 22-year-old appeared in Wednesday night’s Angels game. He died shortly after midnight when the minivan driver slammed into the car he was traveling in at the intersection of Orangethorpe Avenue and Lemon Street in Fullerton, police said.
Police arrested the driver of the minivan, who they said was driving drunk and on a suspended license for a previous DUI conviction. The Angels have canceled tonight’s 7:25 game with the Oakland A’s at the request of Adenhart’s family, the team announced.
