14-Year-Old Pedestrian Hit, Killed By Vehicle Near Mira Loma High School

ARDEN-ARCADE (CBS13) — A 14-year-old male was struck and killed by a vehicle near Mira Loma High School Friday afternoon, CHP said.

According to CHP, witnesses said the 14-year-old was walking on Sunnyvale Avenue when he jumped on the hood of an Infinity coupe that a 17-year-old male was driving. Officers say the victim later came off the hood and was hit by the Infinity. He was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders at 3:29 p.m.

Police say the driver of the Infinity stayed at the scene and is cooperating with officers. Investigators do not suspect DUI was a factor in this crash.

The victim's identity has not yet been released. Officials say he was not a student at Mira Loma, but he lived in the area. 

Investigators believe the victim and the driver knew each other and were messing around when the tragic accident occurred.
