A 55-year-old man walked out into traffic on a busy street in the Point Loma area Wednesday and was fatally struck by a teenage driver’s SUV.

The pedestrian walked from the bike lane on southbound Rosecrans Street near Quimby Street into the path of a Ford Expedition for unknown reasons shortly before 9:30 p.m., according to San Diego Police Officer Dino Delimitros said.

The man died at the scene. His name was not immediately released.

The SUV’s 17-year-old driver remained at the scene, Delimitros said. She was apparently uninjured.
