On Feb.13, at 7:57pm, VPD officers responded to a call of a vehicle versus pedestrian collision on Harbor Bl south of Spinnaker Dr. While officers were responding, a witness reported that a second vehicle struck the downed pedestrian.
Officers arrived and found that the pedestrian had succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the first vehicle involved in the collision remained on scene and was cooperative with investigating officers. Drugs and alcohol are not believed to have been a factor involving this driver.
