SAN DIEGO, CA (October 17, 2018) – A man was killed in a pedestrian crash on 54th Street, early Wednesday morning. The victim was only identified as a 57-year-old man. His name and place of residence were not immediately released, pending notification of family.
According to officials with the California Highway Patrol, the collision took place at approximately 4:47 AM, near Haniman Drive.
Based on an initial report, the pedestrian was crossing the street at the intersection when he was struck by a Nissan. When rescuers arrived, the man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from serious head injuries.
