Pedestrian Killed in Riverside Crash on Pomona (60) Freeway near Market Street Sunday night

Riverside, California (April 6, 2020) – Authorities are investigating the cause of a crash that killed a male pedestrian Sunday night in Riverside.

The accident, which was reported a little before 10:00 p.m. Sunday, April 5, took place on the westbound Pomona (60) Freeway, just west of Market Street.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the man was hit by a car for unknown reasons on the westbound side of the freeway.

The victim, whose name has not been released pending family notification, died at the scene.

A truck and a sedan were halted on the right-hand shoulder of the freeway. Their role in the accident was not immediately clear.

An investigation into the crash 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.
