A 40-year-old man who was killed after being struck by a big rig while walking in Long Beach was identified Monday by authorities.
The collision occurred about 4 p.m. Friday in the 6700 block of Paramount Boulevard, according to Long Beach Police Department Lt. Steven Jilek.
The man was walking northbound in the middle of the roadway, outside a marked crosswalk, when he was hit by a southbound 2019 International semi-truck, according to a police statement.
The driver, a 51-year-old Long Beach resident, remained at the scene and cooperated with officers, police said. Paramedics pronounced the pedestrian dead at the scene.
He was identified Monday by the county Medical Examiner’s office as Marco St. Julian.
“At this time, speed and distracted or impaired driving do not appear to be factors in the collision,” police said in a statement.
Anyone with information about the crash was urged to call the Long Beach Police Department at 562-570-7355. Anonymous calls can be made to 800-222-8477 or tips may be sent to lacrimestoppers.org.
