MODESTO – Authorities are seeking the driver who struck a pedestrian and did not stop at the scene Tuesday night.

The collision threw the pedestrian toward the curb on L Street. The pickup truck continued west on L before turning north on 7th and driving off, according to Sergeant Nicolai.

Medical personnel performed CPR on the victim and were able to regain a pulse and rushed him to a hospital. They were only identified as a male, age unknown.
