Robert Fisher, 54, struck and killed by utility truck and second car while trying to cross street outside of crosswalk in El Cayon, California

A San Diego Gas & Electric utility truck was the vehicle involved in a hit-and-run-crash in El Cajon that left a homeless man dead, police said Friday. The victim, Robert Fisher, 54, was crossing Jamacha Road south of East Main Street outside of a crosswalk about 10 p.m. Monday when he was run over by the truck, police said. A few minutes later Fisher, who was lying in the roadway, was also struck by a 2003 Hyundai Sonata whose driver pulled over, police said. Fisher died of blunt force trauma to the head, neck and torso, the county Medical Examiner’s Office said. The SDG&E truck was described as a utility work vehicle with a decal on the door and a lift bucket crane in the utility bed. Witnesses and evidence at the scene led investigators to an El Cajon address where the SDG&E vehicle was seized on Tuesday, Soulard said. Detectives also conducted a search at an El Cajon home. The utility is cooperating fully in the investigation. No arrests have been made. The driver of the vehicle, who has not been named publicly, has been suspended pending the police investigation, a spokeswoman said. The company could release nothing further about the employee because of personnel privacy issues, she said. The truck’s driver could face charges of felony hit-and-run leading to serious bodily injury, Soulard said. The truck was not going to a work call when the collision occurred, he said. The Medical Examiner’s Office said the victim had no known address.
