Vigil Planned Wednesday for Cal State Fullerton’s Lauren Turner After E‑Scooter Collision

Police say the September crash remains under investigation with no charges submitted to prosecutors.

Overview

  • Lauren Turner, 19, died Nov. 7 after nearly six weeks in intensive care and hospice following a Sept. 27 off‑campus collision.
  • Turner and teammate Ashlyn Gwynn were riding e‑scooters on Associated Road when a southbound box truck in the same lane struck them, according to police.
  • Authorities have said alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the crash as the probe continues.
  • Gwynn has been moved out of ICU and is undergoing rehabilitation in Houston, with family reports noting ongoing physical, occupational and speech therapy.
  • Cal State Fullerton will hold a candlelight vigil at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Titan Stadium, as the team remembers Turner’s on‑field contributions and implements a helmet rule for riders.
