Toddler hit and killed by Amazon van in Irvine

A 23-month-old girl was struck and killed by an Amazon van in Irvine Tuesday.

Irvine Police Department officers and Orange County Fire Authority firefighters were called just after 3:30 p.m. to the 300 block of Estancia, near Hicks Canyon Park, on reports of the collision and found the girl dead in the parking lot of an apartment community, according to a police department statement.

Authorities noted the Amazon van was operated by a third-party contractor and that "drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor" in the collision, though no further details were available.
