Cal State Fullerton's Lauren Turner Dies After Six Weeks in ICU From E-Scooter Crash

The university plans a Nov. 12 candlelight vigil to honor the sophomore midfielder.

Overview

  • Cal State Fullerton announced on Nov. 10 that Lauren Turner died on Nov. 7 following nearly six weeks in intensive care.
  • The Sept. 27 collision occurred near Associated Road and Yorba Linda Boulevard when a box truck struck Turner and teammate Ashlyn Gwynn, in a lane that splits into a right-turn lane and a bike lane.
  • Head coach Demian Brown said neither player wore a helmet at the time, and he has since required Titans athletes to wear helmets when using e-scooters or e-bikes.
  • Teammate Ashlyn Gwynn has been moved out of intensive care and begun daily therapies, with family reporting signs of responsiveness.
  • A GoFundMe for Turner’s family has raised more than $104,000.
