Craig Vann, 45, Killed by Security Vehicle in Laguna Woods

Laguna Woods, California — Craig Vann, a 45-year-old man from Atwater Village in Los Angeles was killed Wednesday night. Authorities believe Vann was crossing Moulton Parkway, near El Toro Road when the crash occurred. An on-duty security guard for Laguna Woods Village was driving a marked truck when he hit and killed a pedestrian along Moulton Parkway.
Vann is not believed to have been crossing at a crosswalk, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
Vann crossed one side of the road before 9 p.m., and stopped in the median, he said.
“He then darted across the street,” Amormino said.
Vann was hit in the right lane as he was nearing the curb, he said.
Nobody was cited and the incident is being investigated by the Major Accident Reconstruction Team with the Sheriff’s Department.
The name of the driver was not immediately released.
