Cardiff, California (February 22, 2020) – A man died after being hit by a vehicle while crossing Interstate 5 Saturday evening in Cardiff, a local news source reported.

At around 6:30 p.m., authorities received a report regarding the accident on Interstate 5 near the Birmingham Drive off-ramp.

According to Witnesses, the man was struck by a vehicle while he was running across northbound Interstate 5.

The man, whose name was not immediately disclosed, died in the crash.

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.
