A man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Monday after fatally striking a pedestrian on Interstate 280 in San Francisco, authorities said.
The collision occurred around 12:09 a.m. on southbound I-280 just north of the Geneva Avenue on-ramp, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Andrews.
CHP officials said a 26-year-old man had exited a Nissan Sentra that was pulled over to the right shoulder and was walking in the southbound traffic lanes when he was struck by a Chevrolet Cruze.
The victim was Nathaniel Rosas, a San Mateo County resident, according to the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Rosas was pronounced dead at the scene by San Francisco Fire Department paramedics at approximately 12:25 a.m., Andrews said.
The driver of the Chevrolet Cruze, a 33-year-old male, remained at the scene and was arrested on suspicion of DUI. He was booked into San Francisco County Jail. The Highway Patrol did not provide the suspect’s name.
Deputies closed all but one lane until 1:45 a.m. Monday.
