A pedestrian is dead in Encinitas after being hit by a vehicle near the intersection of Villa Cardiff Drive and Windsor Road. The incident happened shortly after 11:30 when the fire department responded to the area for the report of a person down. When FD arrived, the man was pronounced dead on scene. Apparently, the man was struck and killed after a DUI driver hit the man. The DUI driver left the scene in his car and was outstanding as of this morning. Investigators will be out there the remainder of the night to piece together what happened. Call Sheriff at (858) 565-5555 for more information.
UPDATE: The driver of the car (which was apparently the brother of the man who died), is now arrested on suspicion of homicide. Call the Sheriff's Media Line at (858) 565-5555.
