UPDATE: Vehicle strikes and kills pedestrian in Pasadena

PASADENA — A pedestrian died Wednesday after being struck by a pickup truck in Pasadena, authorities said.
Pasadena police asked the public’s help in identifying the man, described as a white or Latino man of about 60 years old, with silver hair and a mustache and two distinct tattoos on both shoulders, Pasadena police officials said in a written statement. He has tattoos of an eagle on one shoulder, and the Virgin Mary on the other.
“We’re thinking because he didn’t have any ID on him, any keys, that he lived in the area,” Pasadena police Lt. Randell Taylor said.
The incident was reported shortly after 10 a.m. at Avenue 64 and Nithsdale Road, officials.
Per witness accounts, the man “darted out” into the roadway, the lieutenant said. He was not in a crosswalk.
The car did not appear to have been speeding, Taylor said.
“The driver of the vehicle was interviewed at the scene. There were no signs of foul play,” he said.
As is standards procedure when investigating a fatal crash, police ordered blood to be drawn from the driver of the small pickup truck that fatally struck the man, Taylor said, though there were no overt signs of impairment.
The crash was being handled by traffic investigators from the Pasadena Police Department.
