A hit-and-run driver who struck and fatally injured a pedestrian on Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach remained at large Monday, Oct. 19th, police said.
Officers were dispatched to the area of the PCH and Lewis Avenue about 7:20 p.m. Sunday, where they found the injured pedestrian on the north sidewalk of PCH, according to the Long Beach Police Department. The man, whose name was withheld, died at a hospital.
Investigators believe he was walking eastbound along the south sidewalk of PCH and tried to cross outside of a crosswalk. He was struck by a dark colored-sedan, possibly a Dodge Challenger, in the number three lane of westbound PCH.
It was not immediately clear how the victim got to the north sidewalk, where officers located him.
