Pedestrian struck by several vehicls, killed

A pedestrian struck and killed late Friday in South El Monte was struck by more than one vehicle, officials said Saturday.

The man, estimated to be 35 years old and listed with the coroner's office as a John Doe, was crossing Rosemead Boulevard just south of Rush Street when he was struck by a Honda being driven by a Sierra Madre man, officials said.

The Honda driver was not cited or arrested, and CHP officials said peliminary investigations indicates the pedestrian was likely at fault.

Following the initial crash, the driver of the Honda remained at the scene, however at least one additional vehicle is believed to have also struck the pedestrian and continued.

Initial reports indicated as many as three or four hit-and-run drivers may have struck the man, however officials could not confirm if that was the case Saturday.

It was not clear if the man died in the initial crash or a subsequent one.
