Santa Monica, California (February 4, 2020) – A pedestrian died after being hit by a vehicle Saturday morning in Santa Monica, according to authorities.

The fatal accident happened at around 7:10 a.m. Saturday, February 1 on Lincoln Boulevard near Ocean Park Boulevard.

Authorities said the pedestrian, a 35-year-old Asian man, was on the roadway when, for an unknown reason, he was struck by a vehicle that was heading northbound on Lincoln Boulevard. Reportedly, the man fell into the road from the curb.

The man died before reaching the hospital. His name has not been disclosed pending notification of next of kin.

An investigation into the accident is underway.

A person on foot is no match for a large, multi-ton vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles. Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries and/or death.
