Officers responded to the intersection of Warner Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street at 11:05 p.m. Friday and found the pedestrian down and suffering from extensive injuries, according to Sgt. Matthew Austin of the Huntington Beach Police Department.
A preliminary investigation showed the 66-year-old driver of a gray 2018 Hyundai Elantra was traveling westbound on Warner Avenue when his vehicle struck the pedestrian, who was crossing northbound at Bolsa Chica Street, Austin said. It was unclear if the pedestrian was in a marked crosswalk at the time of the crash.
