29-Year-Old Man Dead Following Pedestrian Accident 

Sean Davis, 29, was hit and killed by a vehicle in Desert Hot Springs last Saturday night. 

The incident took place on January 29th at Palm Drive and Estrella Avenue. 

Davis was reportedly walking on Estrella Avenue across Pam Drive when a northbound sedan struck him. 

It is unclear at this time what factored into the collision that took place at 10:30 p.m. 

Davis was lying on the ground when paramedics arrived and rushed to Desert Regional Medical Center where he sadly died. 

According to reports, the unidentified 67-year-old female driver told police she did not see Davis.

The area was also shut down for a period of time following the crash. 

An active investigation is underway to determine liability.
