A 69-year-old transient pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle in Newport Beach, officials said Thursday.
Police responded to the collision about 4 p.m. Wednesday in the 3400 block of Irvine Avenue, near Bristol Street, police said. MaryAnn White-Calhoun was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.
The driver and passengers in the vehicle were taken to area hospitals to be treated for injuries not considered to be life-threatening, police said.
I worked with MaryAnn. She is NOT a TRANSIENT, but a hard working mother and grandmother, and friend to many. She was walking to the bus stop after work as she does every day. She chose to take the bus every day because she said she doesn’t like the way folks drive in California. MaryAnn was a well spoken, well dressed, helpful, kind woman. Please update the article before her family sees that you described her as transient. Shame on Newport Beach not surprised!!!!
