The Fresno County Coroner, on Wednesday, June 10th, identified the pedestrian who died in a hit-and-run collision in Fresno, California. Rosendo Lozano-Hernandez, a 56-year-old resident of the city, died from injuries sustained in the Tuesday, June 9th, occurrence.

The accident report released by the Fresno Police Department showed that the collision occurred late at night around 10:30 p.m. along Blackstone Avenue near Abbey Street. Investigating officers said a vehicle struck Lozano-Hernandez for unknown reasons near Belmont Avenue. A woman made a 911 call after seeing the victim lying on the street.

Responding paramedics found the man in that position when they arrived and pronounced him dead. The driver and the vehicle involved were nowhere in sight, leading the police to block Blackstone Avenue while investigating.

The driver remains at large, and the investigation continues. Anyone with information about the accident, the motorist, and the vehicle involved should contact the FPD on the listed line.

Traffic accidents usually leave those involved rattled and in a state of panic, making them flee the scene against better judgment and the law. The California Vehicle Code provides that those involved in an accident should stop at the scene or the nearest possible place where traffic won’t get impeded.

The person should access the extent of the damage caused, and place a 911 call to get help if there’s an injury or possible death. He or she should render assistance while waiting for the first responders and remain at the scene until they arrive. If there’s no bodily harm or death, the person should leave behind his or her contact information before leaving.
