Look back at the most notable deaths of the year.

Adenhart another man and a woman were all killed, and another man was critically injured, in a three-vehicle crash blamed on a motorist who ran a red light at a Fullerton intersection, police said. Besides Adenhart, one of the other people who was also killed was also part of the Angels organization.

Authorities withheld the names of the dead for hours, pending family notification.

Police said the driver of a minivan who was blamed for the crash fled the scene on foot but was arrested a short time later on suspicion of hit-and-run. A passenger who remained in the minivan suffered minor injuries, Brower said.

The crash occurred at East Orangethorpe Avenue and South Lemon Street around 12:20 a.m., said Fullerton police Lt. Doug Cave.

Cave said two of the vehicles -- one traveling on Lemon, the other on Orangethorpe -- crashed in the intersection. A third vehicle, which was stopped in the intersection, was struck in the accident but sustained only minor damage and its driver was not hurt, Cave said.

Witnesses said a minivan ran a red light and collided with a silver Mitsubishi occupied by four people, said Fullerton police Lt. Craig Brower.

The Mitsubishi slammed into a light pole. A man and a woman in the Mitsubishi died at the scene, Brower said.

Two other men in the Mitsubishi were transported in critical condition to UC Irvine Medical Center, where one man died, he said.

Adenhart died in the hospital at around 6 a.m., family members told NBC affiliate WHAG in Maryland.

He had just pitched the best game of his professional career Wednesday night, with six scoreless innings against the Oakland A's in a losing effort.

The young hurler was born in Silver Spring, Maryland on Aug.24, 1986. He graduated from Williamsport High School in Maryland and made his major league debut on May 1, 2008, according to the station.

He made three starts for the Angels last year going 1-0 with an ERA of 9, before being re-assigned to AAA Salt Lake where he had an ERA of over 7.

We'll see about that. This country has the most criminal friendly justice system. Running red light and killing another person should be 1st degree murder. But this motherfucker's gonna get some manslaughter shit, with parole in a few years, you can bet on it. Let's see you put up a law that hands out public hanging for DUI, I can bet you DUI will drop to 0 in a week.

That's becuase in most states, "Death Row" does not mean death.

My friend that took out 1 person, and both drivers were at fault and had been drinking, got 7 years here in CA.

This is a high-profile case, and if the driver was the only one at fault, hes getting 3 counts.

Only white women get away with murder (the teenage girl who killed the bicyclist while downloading ringtones, Laura Bush, etc.). It sucks that that's how things are, but this time it's a guy so he'll have the book thrown at him which is some small consolance.

Hopefully his cell mate is gay, 7', 400 lb and has a penis the size of my thigh.
 
NPR/KPCC is now reporting the driver is suspected of being drunk, and that's a straight shot to prison.
