Earlier this week, a hit-and-run in Orcutt resulted in the death of a pedestrian on southbound highway 135.
CHP responded to a report of a pedestrian lying in the roadway early Sunday morning, finding a deceased male within the traffic lanes upon arrival. Since then, the male has been identified as 33-year-old Mark Lee Rogers of Paso Robles.
The vehicle involved in the incident fled the scene prior to CHP’s arrival.
The investigation for the hit-and-run is still ongoing.
