NICE, Calif. – A pedestrian was killed Tuesday night after being hit by a vehicle along Highway 20.
Northshore Fire units were dispatched to the scene of the incident, in the area of Highway 20 and Hudson Avenue in Nice, shortly after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Firefighters arriving at the scene minutes later found the pedestrian down on the side of the road, not breathing.
Cal Fire dispatch had immediately ordered an air ambulance but it was canceled by units at the scene about five minutes later after firefighters confirmed over the air that the pedestrian had died.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office was asked to send a coroner and the California Highway Patrol responded to conduct an investigation.
Reports from the scene indicated the vehicle involved was a late 1990s model white Chevrolet Silverado pickup.
Additional information will be published as it becomes available.
