A pedestrian was killed by a vehicle next to the Cal Poly Pomona campus Sunday, and the driver left behind evidence before speeding off, police said.
Christopher Guerrero, 36, of Diamond Bar was walking westbound in the number right lane of West Temple Avenue and Campus Drive around 5:15 a.m. He was struck by a Chevy truck or SUV that was also heading westbound, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The intersection sits at the line of the city of Walnut and Cal Poly Pomona.
It's unclear why Guerrero was in the street, said Sgt. Maehr of the CHP.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"There were several pieces of vehicle debris left at the scene that were taken into evidence," Maehr said.
Westbound Temple Avenue was closed to traffic at University Drive at 7:28 a.m. and was re-opened by the CHP by 10 a.m.
