FULLERTON — A 38-year-old homeless man died early Monday morning when he was struck by two cars and an SUV that all drove away from the scene in Fullerton.
The multi-vehicle hit-and-run crash occurred at 1:30 a.m. at Harbor Boulevard and Southgate Avenue, said Fullerton police Capt. Jon Radus.
The man was pushing a shopping cart westbound across Harbor Boulevard in the north crosswalk — but against the red light — when he was struck by a southbound white Dodge Charger that had the green light, Radus said. The driver of that car did not stop.
Within seconds, the man was struck again by a black Jeep Wrangler — and that driver did not stop either, the captain said.
About two minutes later, a white Honda two-door Civic struck the man, and the driver also left the scene, Radus said.
Paramedics rushed the victim to a trauma center where he was pronounced dead, he said.
An investigation has shut down Harbor Boulevard between Orangethorpe and Knepp avenues, Radus said.
