San Bernardino, CA – 39-Year-Old Hit and Killed in Pedestrian Accident
San Bernardino, CA (October 8, 2018) – In San Bernardino, a 39-year-old was struck and killed by a vehicle in a fatal pedestrian accident that happened on Saturday, October 6, around 2:15 a.m.
Police responded to the area, which was within the area of the 10 Freeway. The pedestrian has since been identified as Uriel Ramos. The 36-year-old man from Redlands was killed after he got out of his vehicle alongside the roadway.
Apparently, Ramos had been a passenger in a pickup truck that received a flat tire.

Sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Honda veered to the right after striking Ramos, which caused it to collide with a Lexus. The male driver of the Honda received major injuries in the accident while his passenger sustained minor wounds. Their names have not yet been released.
