Authorities responded to the collision around 9:30 p.m., just east of the 80 Freeway split.
 
Officers say an unidentified male driver veered his vehicle off and back on the road on the westbound lanes. There, a dark green vehicle struck him.
 
Following the impact, the driver of the dark green vehicle escaped the scene. Meanwhile, medics pronounced the male victim dead on scene, due to the extent of his injuries.
