19-year-old pedestrian hit, killed near Tustin Marketplace Saturday night
A 19-year-old man from Pensacola, Fla. was hit and killed by a driver in Tustin Saturday night.
Officers responded to a call shortly before 9:30 p.m. at Jamboree Road and West Drive, by the Tustin Marketplace. They found a man later identified as Trace Goodwin lying in the road with major injuries, Tustin Police Lt. Andrew Birozy said.
An investigation showed Goodwin had gone into the roadway and was struck by a car heading north on Jamboree. A videographer at the location said the car was a Tesla, but Birozy said it was not a self-driving model.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the car stayed and cooperated with police, Birozy said in a news release.
Birozy could not say if the pedestrian was in a crosswalk or had crossed against a traffic light. He said the investigation is ongoing. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor in the collision, he said.
Tustin police ask anyone who saw the crash to call Officer Casiello at 714-573-3218.
