A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on West San Marcos Boulevard Sunday evening, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department reported.

The person was hit while crossing northbound across the street, just west of Rancho Santa Fe Drive. The pedestrian was not walking inside a marked crosswalk, and was struck by a vehicle traveling westbound on West San Marcos Blvd.

The victim of the collision was transported to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, the department stated.

Authorities haven’t determined the cause of the collision, but said alcohol is not a factor. They said the driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.


The department asked anyone with information on the collision to contact Deputy C. Van Nieuwenhuyzen at (760) 510-5200.
