By Miriam Raftery November 26, 2020 (El Cajon) – A man in his 20s suffered a fatal head injury yesterday when he was struck by an unidentified vehicle Wednesday evening around 8:40 p.m. in the 300 block of West Chase Avenue. El Cajon Police Department is asking anyone with information to call (619)579-3311.
Police and paramedics responded, but were unable to save the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
An initial indication indicates the vehicle was traveling westbound on West Chase Avenue near Estes Street, when it struck the pedestrian, who was crossing the roadway.
At this time, police do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors, says Lt. Jeremiah Larson, patrol division watch commander.
The police department reminds pedestrians to obey traffic lights, only cross the street at designated controlled intersections, and to wear bright or light-colored clothing for visibility.
