IRVINE – Irvine police Tuesday asked for the public’s help finding a driver investigators say caused a fatal crash.
Allen Yangkaou Lee, 67, of Irvine, died Monday night, a few days after Thursday’s rollover crash involving a 2004 Toyota Corolla near Culver Drive and Trabuco Road, police said.
Lee was heading north on Culver approaching Trabuco at about 4:30 p.m. and appeared to swerve and lose control of the car when the driver of a Honda Civic made a right turn against a red from Trabuco to north Culver, police said.
The Honda’s driver did not stop following the crash and kept going north on Culver.
Lee was taken to an area hospital in grave condition, but Monday night he succumbed to his injuries, police said.
Police were looking for a silver or beige 2008-11 Honda Civic or Civic Hybrid with “unique racing-style decals on the lower doors.”
Anyone with relevant information was asked to call Detective Christopher Ostrowski at 949-724-7047.
