HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—Huntington Beach police Dec. 31 released the name of the 49-year-old pedestrian killed when he was struck by a pickup truck.

John Diaz was a Huntington Beach resident, Sgt. Anthony Pham told City News Service.

The crash was reported about 6:50 p.m. Dec. 30 on Slater Avenue west of Keelson Lane, Pham said.

The preliminary investigation revealed Diaz was walking outside a crosswalk when he was struck by the eastbound Chevrolet Silverado, Pham said. Diaz was pronounced dead at the scene.

The 22-year-old man driving the truck remained at the scene and cooperated with officers, he said. Impairment did not appear to be a factor for the driver.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or the events leading up to it was encouraged to call 714-536-5666.
