JAMUL – A suspected illegal immigrant trying to cross state Route 94 near Honey Springs Road was struck by a pickup truck and killed early Tuesday, authorities said.
The man was struck shortly after 6 a.m. by a Chevy pickup driven by a 43-year-old man from Jamul. The driver told authorities the pedestrian crossed in front of his truck and he was unable to avoid him, said California Highway Patrol Officer Brian Pennings.

Pennings said the victim was a Hispanic man in his 30s. His identity was not known, although officials suspect he was an illegal immigrant, Pennings said.

A CHP officer at the scene said a group of men was crossing the road and the last person trying to cross “didn't quite make it,” said CHP Officer Alicia Contreras.
