Two women were killed when they were hit by a vehicle in Stanton Monday night, June 1, authorities said.

Orange County sheriff’s deputies were called to the area of Cerritos Avenue and Magnolia Street just after 9 p.m. and arrived to find the women injured, Sgt. Gerard McCann said.

They were both taken to a hospital but died.

One was believed to be in her 60s and the other in her 30s, McCann said.
