The man was struck on a rural road outside of Oxnard on Saturday.

Authorities are asking for the public’s help in finding the driver of a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed a pedestrian in Ventura County.

The 35-year-old was struck just before midnight Saturday on Naumann Road, just east of Oxnard.

CHP investigators believe the man was walking northbound on Naumann Road when he was hit by a northbound vehicle. He was thrown into another car that was parked on the road shoulder. The driver of the vehicle who hit the pedestrian fled the area.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators are seeking potential witnesses to assist in identifying the vehicle involved in the fatal collision.
