A 69 year old man apparently suffered a heart attack while driving, crashed his car into a parked car at Anaheim St. and Lewis Ave, and later died on the way to the hospital.

Lewis C. Linn, 410 Newport Ave., was pronounced dead on arrival at Seaside Hospital shortly before 4 p.m., according to police. City ambulance attendants told officers Linn was still alive when they picked him up at the scene of the accident.

Officers said Linn's car crashed into a parked car owned by Robert H. Barker, 44 of 1050 E. Anaheim St. and knocked it into another parked car.

The body was removed to the B.W. Coon Mortuary.
