Man Struck, Killed by Truck in Fairmount Village

A man was killed after being hit by a truck in the Fairmont Village neighborhood Saturday night.

Police said the 40- to 50-year-old man was crossing the street in the 4600 block of University Avenue around 6 p.m. when he was struck by a truck.

Mauricio O'Campo who witnessed the accident said the man was jaywalking at 47th Street when he was struck and "went flying."

O'Campo said the driver was scared and shaking so badly, he could barely dial 911.

The man sustained serious injuries and later died in a nearby hospital.

Part of University Avenue was shut down, and the San Diego Police Department Traffic Division is investigating.
