Authorities sought Tuesday to piece together the circumstances of a late-night hit-and-run crash that fatally injured a 26-year-old pedestrian in Mission Valley.
The victim was walking on an onramp from Fairmount Avenue to Interstate 8 when a vehicle struck him shortly before 9:30 p.m. Monday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Following the impact, the motorist continued driving onto the freeway and left the area, CHP public-affairs Officer Jesse Matias said.
Paramedics took the pedestrian to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name was withheld pending family notification.
Investigators have no description of vehicle that struck the victim, Matias said.
