It was by the entrance off the bikes and the apartments by the car wash

You should call the sheriff’s station any information is helpful.
It’s sierra and via princessa. Just under the freeway overpass.
Not that far up, it’s closer to Soledad. By the car wash
Gotcha. 27000 block puts it right by the chi chi’s pizza.
How are there no eye witnesses? It wasn’t that late!

They need to put a crosswalk for pedestrians or better lighting it is dark, too many people run across at night…
Is there any information on the person that was hit?
