Accident in San Pablo claims one life – NBC Bay Area

One person was killed early Saturday morning when he was struck by a car in San Pablo, the California Highway Patrol said.

CHP said its officers arrived around 1:26 a.m. and found the person dead along San Pablo Avenue, just south of Shamrock Drive.

Investigators believe the person stopped their car on the street and got out. Another car then struck the person and drove away, according to CHP.

CHP did not provide details about why the first car stopped or why the person may have run into the road.

San Pablo police later located the driver of that car near Howard Street and Rumrill Boulevard and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence.
