SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – A man died early Monday morning after being hit by multiple cars on Interstate 805 in Kearny Mesa, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The incident happened at 4:35 a.m. when the pedestrian was walking across the lanes on I-805 northbound, south of Clairemount Mesa Boulevard. At that time, a white Mazda and a silver Lexus were approaching the man, CHP said in a press release Monday afternoon.
A 36-year-old woman from San Diego attempted to swerve her Mazda after noticing the pedestrian, resulting in the front of her car to collide with the man, causing him to fall to the ground.
The pedestrian was then struck by the Lexus, driven by a 50-year-old man from San Diego.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
Both drivers remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. CHP said a toxicology report is pending to determine if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash.
Authorities are actively investigating the cause of this incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact CHP at (858) 293-6000.
