The man killed while crossing State Route 163 over the weekend was an active duty member of the Army, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday.
At about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, 30-year-old James Michael Ginas III and another person tried to cross the northbound SR-163 near Friars Road on foot.
However, Ginas was struck by a car and died from blunt force injuries at the scene. His birthday was last week, according to the ME’s office.
The driver, who stayed at the crash site, was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. The other pedestrian was not hurt.
CHP officials said they do not believe drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash, but the incident is still under investigation.
