Legacy Park Area, California (April 30, 2020) – A pedestrian was hit and killed by a vehicle Wednesday afternoon in the Legacy Park area, according to a local news source.

The deadly accident, which was reported at about 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, happened in the southbound lanes of Interstate 805, just north of the S. 43rd Street exit.

As per the report, a suspected homeless man was struck by a Dodge Challenger while he was trying to run across the southbound lanes of the freeway.

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.
