A 71-year-old man died after being struck by a car Friday night while walking across a street in Garden Grove. According to Lt. Carl Whitney of the GGPD, the incident took place on Brookhurst Street, just north of Bixby Avenue a few minutes before 6 p.m.

Investigators determined that the pedestrian was crossing Brookhurst eastbound in an area not marked as a crosswalk. While in the left southbound lane, the man was hit by a blue 2004 Infiniti G35, driven by a 22-year-old man.

The pedestrian was treated at the scene by the Garden Grove Fire Department, but died of his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
