The unidentified man was struck by a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado driven by a 24-year-old Ramona man. According to the CHP, the driver was traveling eastbound at 50 miles per hour when he came around a curve and saw the pedestrian running across the roadway in front of him.

The collision remains under investigation (coroner’s case # 14-2462).
