Pedestrian Killed in Escondido Accident
The 60-year-old man was struck by two vehicles on East Valley Parkway on Saturday night, and police said one driver did not stop.
A 60-year-old man was killed in a pedestrian crash on East Valley Parkway in Escondido on Saturday night, the Escondido Police Department said.
The Saturday Night Crash on East Valley Parkway
Police said officers were called at about 8:30 p.m. to the westbound side of the 2500 block of East Valley Parkway. The man was hit by one vehicle and taken to a hospital, where he died. Police said the driver of that first vehicle remained on scene and worked with investigators. The department said drugs and alcohol were not factors for that driver.
Police said witnesses described a second vehicle that also struck the man, a small black sports car whose windows were tinted. According to police, that driver did not stop and was last seen heading north on Citrus Avenue from Valley Parkway. No other injuries were reported.
Where the Search for the Black Sports Car Stands
The man's name has not been released. The Escondido Police Department is looking for the driver of the black sports car. Police asked people who know anything about the crash or the car to call the department.
In a hit-and-run, the first weeks are usually about finding the vehicle. Tips and home camera video from neighbors often matter most.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in California usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
