67-Year-Old Irvine Man Pronounced Dead after Rollover Crash near Trabuco Road

IRVINE, CA (May 16, 2024) – Thursday afternoon, Allen Yangkaou Lee was fatally injured in a red-light rollover accident on Culver Drive.

Police officers responded to the scene around 4:30 p.m., on the northbound lanes of Culver Drive near Trabuco Road.

Investigators say the driver of a 2004 Toyota Corolla attempted to avoid a Honda Civic that was making a turn against a red light. 

The Corolla driver then swerved and lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll over and crash into the center median.

Meanwhile, the Honda driver did not stop and continued driving northbound on Culver. 

Responding emergency personnel transported the Corolla driver to a hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries on Monday night. Authorities identified the deceased victim as 67-year-old Lee, of Irvine.
