A man died after he was hit by a car in La Mesa Tuesday, according to the Heartland Fire-Rescue Department.
The man was hit by a Toyota SUV on Lake Murray Boulevard near Marengo Avenue just after 3:30 p.m., according to officials with the La Mesa Police Department.
He was identified Thursday as 66-year-old La Mesa resident Billy Allen.
When officers arrived on scene they found Allen lying in southbound lanes.
