A man was killed on New Year’s Day after he got out of a vehicle and started walking in traffic on State Route 94.
An argument broke out between the victim, a 21 year old whose identity has not been confirmed, and the driver as they traveled eastbound on the highway at approximately 1:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
CHP says the driver pulled over in the center divider east of Kenwood Drive and the man immediately exited the vehicle and began running in traffic. He was then struck by an unknown vehicle that did not stop.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, according to CHP.
At this time CHP has no information on the vehicle that struck the victim, and is asking the public for help in its attempt to identify the driver.
Those with information are encouraged to call CHP Officer Kevin Pearlstein at (619)401-2000.
