On Sunday, August 30, 2026, at approximately 2:25 a.m., a pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle on southbound State Route 67 just north of East Bradley Avenue in the Bostonia area near El Cajon, San Diego County. California Highway Patrol officers said the man was standing in the middle of the southbound lanes at the time of the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene. All southbound lanes of SR-67 were shut down for several hours as investigators worked the scene, reopening around 4:41 a.m. The driver remained at the scene, and the cause of the crash is still under investigation. No names have been released.
According to ABC 10News, CHP has not disclosed why the pedestrian was in the roadway or released details about the vehicle or driver involved. The outlet reported that the victim was a man wearing shorts and no shirt, and that CHP is continuing to investigate the circumstances that led him to be standing in the traffic lanes. The California Highway Patrol’s own Fatal Accident Feed corroborated the time, location and victim description of the crash. Authorities have not indicated whether alcohol, drugs, or vehicle speed played a role. If the crash resulted from a driver’s failure to keep a proper lookout or reduce speed for a pedestrian in the roadway, the driver could allegedly bear liability for the death.
