A hit-and-run in Lemon Grove has left one pedestrian dead, and police are on the hunt for the driver responsible. The victim, who has not been immediately identified, was struck and killed by a pick-up truck in the early hours of Wednesday, according to the Lemon Grove Sheriff's Substation.

Deputies responded to the scene at the intersection of College Avenue and Federal Boulevard shortly before 12:30 a.m., after the pedestrian was reported to have been hit. Upon arrival, first responders from Heartland Fire and American Medical personnel vigorously attempted CPR on the victim for about ten minutes; however, the individual was declared dead at the scene, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department reported.

The Sheriff's Department has not yet released additional details about the suspect's vehicle or the victim's identity, hoping members of the community might step forward with information that could lead to a breakthrough in the case.

The Sheriff's office solicits the public's help to track the culprit.
