SACRAMENTO — A man was struck and killed by a vehicle while walking on Highway 99 in the south Sacramento area, authorities said Thursday night.

The collision happened in the southbound lanes of the highway south of Calvine Road.

The CHP South Sacramento division said the man was hit by at least two separate cars and was pronounced dead at the scene.

He has not yet been identified, but officers say he appears to have been a homeless man in his 60s. 

Investigators said both drivers, an Elk Grove and a Rancho Cordova resident, stayed at the scene.

The roadway has since fully reopened.
