The man, whose name was withheld pending notification of kin, was turning into a parking lot near Michelson and University drives about 7:30 a.m. when his car was struck by vehicle westbound on University, according to Irvine police Lt. Tom Allan.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 34-year-old man, was taken to a nearby hospital but his injuries were not considered life-threatening.
