ESCONDIDO — A 60-year-old man died after he was struck by two vehicles Saturday night in Escondido, and police were still looking for one of the drivers.
Escondido police officers and paramedics responded at 8:30 p.m. to the 2500 block of East Valley Parkway, where the man was struck in the westbound lanes, police said.
The unidentified man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. No other injuries were reported.
“The driver of the first vehicle that struck him was on scene and cooperated with investigators. Drugs and alcohol on the part of that driver were not factors,” the Escondido Police Department said. “A second vehicle, described by witnesses as a small black sports car with tinted windows, struck the male as he laid on the roadway. That vehicle did not stop and was last seen driving north on Citrus Avenue from Valley Parkway.”
Anyone with information about the crash was asked to call Escondido police Officer Jake Houchin at 760-839-4904.
