An employee at Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center was struck and killed by a pursuit suspect Monday who fled the scene, according to multiple reports.
It started when officers with the Riverside Police Department approached a vehicle in a parking lot for a code violation and the driver abruptly took off, ABC7 reported.
The suspect vehicle struck the victim at about 11:40 a.m. Monday, as the employee was on a sidewalk near the medical center, which is located at 10800 Magnolia Ave.
The victim, who has not been identified, was later pronounced dead.
Authorities were seeking the suspect Monday afternoon, but no description was provided.
Eastbound Magnolia Avenue and all lanes at Park Sierra Drive near Magnolia were also closed to traffic for a few hours after the collision.
