ADELANTO, CA (April 11, 2019) – A male pedestrian was struck on Highway 395 Tuesday evening. His name has not yet been given.
 
According to reports, the collision occurred just north of Palmdale Road. Dispatchers arrived to the area after receiving multiple calls about the accident.
 
A witness told officers the pedestrian was first seen crossing from the east lanes to the west lanes, leaving Panda Express. He was allegedly walking back to a tractor-trailer across the highway, about 200 feet away from the crosswalk. He was then struck by a white Toyota Yaris.
 
The man was found responsive and alert when officials arrived at the scene. He was transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center by ground ambulance as a precaution.
 
The female driver of the Toyota remained at the scene and cooperated with deputies. She and the other occupant of the Yaris, her son, were unharmed. Witnesses said the car was traveling at about 40 miles per hour when the crash occurred.
