Early yesterday morning, September 9, 2022, at 5:37 am, the Oceanside Police Department responded to the call of a vehicle versus pedestrian traffic collision. Officers arrived on the scene and located a pedestrian who had been struck and killed by a vehicle while attempting to cross Mission Avenue between the intersections of Roymar Road and Foussat Road. The pedestrian suffered major head trauma and other significant injuries. Despite life-saving measures attempted by an off-duty Camp Pendleton EMT, the pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene.

to be a factor in the collision.
