CAMP PENDELTON, Calif. -- A 31-year-old Canadian man died on Interstate 5 near Camp Pendleton after a truck hit him, the county Medical Examiner's Office said Sunday. The M.E.'s Office is not releasing the man's name, pending family notification, a medical investigator said.
The man was walking on the road Saturday when the tractor-truck trailer struck him, according to the California Highway Patrol. The accident was reported at 4:41 p.m. on the northbound I-5, just north of a rest area. It is possible that the truck driver never saw the victim, and the driver appears to have done nothing wrong, a CHP officer told broadcast stations. Why the victim was walking on the road was not immediately known.
