It happened Monday in the area of First and Fourth streets.
A suspected copper wire thief was struck and killed Monday running across the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway away from police in Tustin.
CHP investigators believe the motorcyclist was riding in between northbound lanes of the 55 Freeway in Costa Mesa, near the 405 Freeway when she struck two vehicles.
Seven victims reported damage that included cracked windshields, broken side view mirrors and dents and scrapes.
Bystander Everado Navarro said he was concerned about the suspect getting the officer's gun, and his fast action helped ensure limited harm came to all parties involved.
