Fatal Traffic Collision off Highway 101 and Solimar

By the edhat staff

A pedestrian has died after being struck by a vehicle off Highway 101 just south of Solimar Beach, north of Ventura.

The incident took place around 9:20 a.m. Wednesday and involved a Chevy pickup truck, according to the California Highway Patrol. 

The area is close to a popular beach spot for local residents and tourists, often with cars parking right off the highway to access the beach.

An edhat reader on the scene reports a female was in the bike line when a vehicle veered to the right and struck her at a high rate of speed, although this has not been confirmed by authorities. 

No further information is available, this is a developing story.
