Man Fatally Struck By Car While Trick-Or-Treating With Son Was Longtime Immigration Attorney

IRVINE (CBSLA.com) — A 65-year-old man who was fatally injured while trick-or-treating with his 4-year-old son when they were struck by a vehicle in Irvine was a longtime immigration attorney, according to his website and posts on Facebook.

John Roger Alcorn was pronounced dead at 8:36 p.m. Friday at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange, according to the county coroner's office.

The accident happened at 7:10 p.m. Friday in the 100 block of West Yale Loop, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.

Alcorn's son was critically injured in the incident. Authorities had no update on the boy's condition Monday morning, but he was last listed as critical but stable, Irvine police said.

Alcorn was admitted to the California Bar in 1980 and practiced immigration and nationality law in Irvine, according to the State Bar of California.

Alcorn's adult daughter, Sophie Alcorn, is also an attorney, working for his law firm, according to the website.

The female driver of the vehicle, a Mazda 3, stopped at the scene and was not initially charged, but the investigation continues, Irvine police spokeswoman Farrah Emami said.
