Pomona police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash after two cars struck a man crossing the street Tuesday but only one driver stopped.
Around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the area of Temple Avenue and South Campus Drive for a person hit by a car, according to a police statement. There they found an unidentified man who had been hit and was in very serious condition.
Paramedics with the Los Angeles County Fire Department provided medical treatment, but the man’s injuries were too severe, and he was pronounced dead.
