Novato man killed crossing San Rafael offramp

The California Highway Patrol is investigating the death of pedestrian struck near Highway 101 in San Rafael.

The pedestrian, a 35-year-old Novato man, was crossing the offramp at Lucas Valley Road on Wednesday evening at approximately 9:20 p.m. and walking toward a nearby bus pad, said CHP Officer Darrel Horner.

A 21-year-old San Rafael man driving a Toyota Camry “was unable to avoid the pedestrian in time,” Horner said.

Drugs and alcohol are not suspected as factors in the collision, Horner said.
