Pedestrian Killed at Pacific Beach Intersection

A pedestrian was hit and killed at a Pacific Beach crosswalk Monday, San Diego Police said. 

At about 5:30 p.m., a man was driving his pickup north on Dawes Street when he made an illegal left hand turn onto west Grand Avenue, according to investigators.

A 72-year-old man crossing Grand was hit by the pickup and suffered fatal head injuries.

Emergency crews rushed him to the hospital, but he died there.

Police said Dawes Street has a no-left hand turn sign that the driver ignored. It's unclear if he has been cited.

Editor's note: Police first said the victim was a woman, but the medical examiner corrected that information to say it was a man.
