Three 13-year-old girls, two of whom were twins, were killed by a hit-and-run driver Friday evening while they were trick-or-treating in Santa Ana, police said.
The three were struck around 6:45 p.m. by a driver "going at a high rate of speed" westbound while they were in a crosswalk in the area of Old Grand Street and Fairhaven Avenue, near Fairhaven Elementary School, said Anthony Bertagna, a spokesman for the Santa Ana police.
All three girls were declared dead at the scene, said Orange County Fire Capt. Steve Concialdi.
The third girl was a friend of the twin sisters, Bertagna said.
All families have been notified and are scene, he said.
A crowd of about 200 people, many still wearing costumes, gathered near the scene consoling one another as they watched the police activity.
Witnesses said the victims lived in the area.
Authorities believe they have located the suspect vehicle, a Nissan Pathfinder, which was found behind a Big Lots store near the crime scene, police said.
"It has damage to the front of it and evidence inside it," Bertagna said. Witnesses followed the car after the collision, but lost the suspects once they fled on foot, police said.
Police are looking for two men who they said were in the car at the time of the incident.
A large crime scene has been set up in the area.
