BRIEF: Father killed, son injured when car hits them in Irvine on Halloween

Nov. 01--An Irvine man was killed Friday night when he and his 4-year-old son were struck by a car while trick-or-treating, the second fatal Halloween-related incident to occur in Orange County, police said.

John Roger Alcorn, 65, was struck by the vehicle about 7:15 p.m. on West Yale Loop near Burwood Street in Irvine, according to the Irvine Police Department. He later died from his injuries.

Alcorn's son, who has not been identified, sustained "significant" injuries and remains hospitalized at a local trauma center in critical but stable condition, police said.

The female driver of the Mazda 3 car that struck the two victims stopped at the scene and has cooperated with police. She has not been arrested.

The investigation is ongoing, the Police Department said.

The accident resulted in one of four trick-or-treating fatalities in Orange County on Friday night. In Santa Ana, three 13-year-old girls were struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver about 6:45 p.m.

Police are continuing to look for two individuals in connection with the incident.
