Irvine police asked for the public’s help finding a driver who investigators say caused a fatal crash last week.
Allen Yangkaou Lee, 67, of Irvine died May 13, four days after a 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 light from Trabuco to north Culver, police said.
The Honda’s driver kept going north on Culver.
Lee was taken to a 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.”
Police told KTLA5 that dash cam video from Lee’s car has helped them collect evidence.
Anyone with relevant information was asked to call Detective Christopher Ostrowski at 949-724-7047.
