SAN DIEGO — Authorities released the name Wednesday of an 88-year-old man who was struck and killed by an SUV while standing outside his broken-down pickup alongside a La Mesa freeway interchange. Reynaldo Nava of Coronado pulled his disabled 1994 Toyota truck over on a patch of land separating westbound Interstate 8 and state Route 125 shortly after 3:30 p. m. Monday, according to the county Medical Examiner’s Office and California Highway... He was behind it with his back to traffic when the driver of a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse cut across the median without realizing Nava was standing there, CHP public-affairs Officer Kevin Pearlstein said. The SUV hit Nava and his pickup. Medics took the motorist, a 27-year-old New York resident, to a hospital for an evaluation. Source: fox5sandiego.com
