A 69-year-old man who was hit and killed by a driver on Christmas Eve has been identified as Breen Mullins of Redwood City, according to the San Mateo County Coroner's Office. A second driver hit Breen and fled but was later arrested.
Breen was killed early Sunday in San Carlos.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office said the collisions happened around 6:57 a.m. on the 1400 block of El Camino Real.
Deputies said paramedics tried reviving the Breen, but he died at the scene.
The first driver, a 27-year-old male from Redwood City, was heading north on El Camino Real when he struck the man crossing the road.
The driver of the first vehicle wasn't injured and cooperated with law enforcement. Preliminary findings suggest that drugs and alcohol were not contributing factors, as the driver showed no signs of intoxication.
Investigators determined a second driver also struck the victim and left the scene.
Police found the second vehicle near Harris Avenue and Adams Street in Redwood City. The driver, a 66-year-old man from San Mateo, was arrested on suspicion of felony hit and run and booked into the Maguire Correctional Facility.
Anyone with information about the death can contact Deputy G. Ramirez at (650) 802-4277.
