A private contractor crossing the street was hit by a car and killed in Emerald Hills Monday, police said.
Edward Dutton, 73, of Imperial, was working as a street surveyor contractor at the intersection of Geneva Avenue and Winston Drive when he was struck around 7:30 a.m.
The driver, 25, then veered right and struck a parked car, according to San Diego police.
Neighbors who live near the crash told NBC 7 the driver came to their door and asked them to call 911.
Neighbor Judy Kay Lockhart told NBC 7 she heard a loud crashing sound and came outside to see what was going on.
She said she witnessed first responders giving CPR to a man lying on the ground.
"They worked really hard,” neighbor Judy Kay Lockhart said. "The medics were very, very dedicated to trying to save his life."
