ARDEN ARCADE (CBS13) – Authorities are asking for help after a man was killed in an early morning hit-and-run on Watt Avenue in Arden Arcade.

The incident happened just before 12:30 a.m. Sunday on Watt Avenue, north of Marconi Avenue.

California Highway Patrol says officers responded and found a 35-year-old man had been hit by a car. Officers started CPR, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene minutes later by medics.
