A pedestrian was struck and killed while walking on a Menifee street, authorities said Monday.

The man, whose identity was not immediately released, was fatally injured about 10:20 p.m. Sunday on McCall Boulevard, near Sherman Road, according to the Menifee Police Department.

Sgt. Matthew Bloch said the victim was in the westbound lane when the driver of a Honda sedan approached from the east at an unknown speed.

The motorist, also not identified, did not spot the pedestrian in the westbound lane because he was wearing “non-reflective clothing,” Bloch said.

The Honda impacted the victim, who suffered “severe” injuries, according to the sergeant.

“The driver pulled into a nearby gas station and contacted 911,” he said.

Riverside County Fire Department paramedics reached the location minutes later and pronounced the pedestrian dead at the scene.

The motorist wasn’t hurt.

Anyone with information was asked to contact the police department’s Traffic Unit at 951-723-1690.
