Pedestrian Killed in Mission Valley Crash on Interstate 8 near Taylor Street Sunday night

San Diego, California (March 23, 2020) – A pedestrian died following a traffic accident that occurred in Mission Valley Sunday night, according to a report by the California Highway Patrol.

At around 8:20 p.m. Sunday, March 22, officers received a report about a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on westbound Interstate 8, just east of the Taylor street.

First responders arrived at the location and found a body near the center divider. The name of the victim has not been released pending notification of next of kin.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigators.

Three left lanes were shut down during the investigation.

Further details about the accident were not immediately disclosed, and the crash remains under investigation.

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.
