A vehicle crashed into a tree Sunday morning in Garden Grove, leaving one person dead and three people injured, authorities said.
Officers were dispatched to the 12900 block of Newhope Street at about 12:05 a.m., where a vehicle had crashed into a tree, according to the Garden Grove Police Department.
A 20-year-old man from Garden Grove was pronounced dead at the scene, Sgt. Royce Wimmer said.
Paramedics rushed the driver, also a 20-year-old Garden Grove man, to a hospital in critical condition. Two passengers, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl, both residents of Anaheim, were also listed in critical condition at a hospital, Wimmer said.
