When police arrived to the intersection of Barstow and Fowler avenues just after 8 p.m., they found the pedestrian in the street. The person was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead just before 9 p.m., police said.
Police believe the vehicle was driving south on Fowler when the pedestrian was crossing east on Barstow, possibly against a red light.
