A woman in a vehicle with her two children was killed in a two-vehicle crash Sunday in Laguna Beach.
The other motorist, described as a man in his 80s, was listed in "very grave condition" at an area hospital, Laguna Beach police Capt. Jason Kravetz said.
The crash at El Toro and Laguna Canyon roads occurred about 12:30 a.m., Kravetz said.
The woman was riding in a vehicle with her 8-year-old and 5-year-old children, going northbound on El Toro Road when she was involved in a collision with a southbound vehicle, he said.
The woman, a resident of Mission Viejo, was rushed to an area hospital, where she died from her injuries. Her children were taken to Western Medical Center, where they don't appear to have any serious injuries, he said.
"Alcohol doesn't appear to be a factor. We're still trying to determine which of the two vehicles veered out of their own traffic lanes," the police captain said.
The woman's vehicle was struck by a Honda Pilot and spun around. The Honda Pilot rolled off the road and into some bushes, where it came to rest on its wheels, he said.
