Pedestrian dies after hit-and-run on Sierra College Boulevard in Rocklin, police say
Officers were investigating the death of a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle and found on Sierra College Boulevard after a hit-and-run late Thursday in Rocklin.
About 10:50 p.m. Thursday, officers responded to a report of a person “laying in the roadway” on Sierra College Boulevard near Schriber Way, the Rocklin Police Department announced in a news release Friday morning. The area is just south of the Rocklin Shopping Centers.
The officers arrived at the scene and spotted the injured man who appeared to have been struck by a vehicle, police officials said. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities will release the name of the man who died once his family has been notified.
Rocklin police Detective Sgt. Eric Dollar said investigators did not have a description of the vehicle that struck the pedestrian. He said they’re hoping a passerby might have seen something and can provide that information to police.
