The fatal crash occurred on northbound Highway 101, just north of Grand Avenue at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, February 9.

Authorities said DeJesus was walking in the center median on northbound Highway 101, facing oncoming traffic when a vehicle hit him.

DeJesus was pronounced dead at the scene.

The northbound lanes of the highway were shut down as a result of the accident. All lanes were reopened at about 11:59 p.m.

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.
