On an early Thursday morning in Oxnard, a fatal traffic collision claimed the life of an unidentified male pedestrian, reports the Oxnard Police Department. Around 5:37 a.m., two vehicles were involved in the incident near the Five Points intersection of Saviers Road and Wooley Road, where one car fled the scene while another, a 2014 Dodge Journey, remained after striking the victim. The accident required response from both police and EMS personnel.
The Oxnard Police, led by Traffic Investigator Manny Perez, discovered the male subject, whose identity hasn't been disclosed, pinned beneath the Dodge Journey suffering from severe injuries; he did not survive. According to the preliminary investigation, the man was in the process of crossing Saviers Road when the first vehicle struck him and left the scene, allowing Christian Bruno Parra, the driver of the second vehicle, to subsequently hit the downed pedestrian. Despite the tragic outcome, neither alcohol nor drugs seems to have been contributing factors in the incident involving Bruno Parra.
Investigators are actively seeking leads to track down the first driver involved in the hit-and-run part of the tragic event. Authorities encourage anyone with information pertinent to the collision to reach out to Corporal Manny Perez. Such tips could offer significant aid to the ongoing investigation, representing crucial puzzle pieces to accountability and closure for those affected by the tragedy.
Christian Bruno Parra, who was behind the wheel of the Journey, is reported to have cooperated with the officials after the accident, which could serve as a valuable point of contact for the ongoing probe; his actions following the collision demonstrate a stark contrast to the still unidentified driver who decided against staying on scene, reports the Oxnard Police Department. The department has urged witnesses or anyone with valuable information to employ various channels, including calls or emails, to assist the investigation in bringing justice to light for the unnamed victim of this unfortunate incident.
