A person apparently jaywalking in Mira Mesa was struck and killed by an SUV driven by a 70-year-old man, the San Diego Police Department reported Tuesday.
The collision occurred at 7:39 p.m. Monday on Mira Mesa Boulevard at Westview Parkway, according to Officer John Buttle.
The victim, a man in his 40s, was crossing Mira Mesa Boulevard from north to south in violation of posted signs, Buttle said.
