Cal State Fullerton’s Lauren Turner Dies Weeks After E‑Scooter Collision

The university will honor her at a candlelight vigil on Wednesday.

Overview

  • The 19-year-old sophomore died Nov. 7 after nearly six weeks in intensive care following the Sept. 27 crash.
  • Fullerton police say a box truck traveling in the same lane on Associated Road struck Turner and teammate Ashlyn Gwynn near Yorba Linda Boulevard.
  • The crash remains under investigation with no charges forwarded to the Orange County district attorney, and alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors.
  • Gwynn has been moved out of the ICU and is preparing for extended rehabilitation in Houston.
  • A candlelight vigil is set for 5:30 p.m. PT on Nov. 12 at Titan Stadium, and the coach has since required players to wear helmets on e‑scooters and e‑bikes.
