Murrieta, CA — A tragic incident unfolded on Monday night as a man walking along Whitewood Road was struck by three vehicles, ultimately leading to his demise, according to recent updates from the Murrieta Police Department.
The victim was identified by the county coroner’s office as 44-year-old Leny Palma Gaitan, a resident of Murrieta. Following the crash, Gaitan was rushed to Inland Valley Hospital in Wildomar, where he was pronounced dead approximately 30 minutes after the 7:29 p.m. collision on the southbound side of Whitewood, about 423 feet north of Somers Road, as per the coroner’s report.
