Pedestrian killed in apparent hit-and-run crash in T.O.
A 31-year-old pedestrian was struck and killed Saturday morning during an apparent hit-and-run collision in Thousand Oaks.

One caller said a man hopped into the bed of the truck and jumped back out.
Officers arrived and found a man on a nearby sidewalk. The victim, a resident of Thousand Oaks, was pronounced dead at the scene, sheriff's officials said. The man's name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.
