The 67-year-old man, who has not been identified yet pending family notification, was crossing Warner Avenue northbound at Leslie Lane, one-fifth of a mile east of Bolsa Chica Street, about 5:56 a.m. when a white Land Rover driven by Jorge Salazarleon of Huntington Beach struck him, preliminary police investigations indicate.
