MARYSVILLE, Calif. — A man died Monday after being hit by a car and "thrown into a ditch" near the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Wheatland, according to California Highway Patrol.
A 28-year-old man from Marysville was walking southbound on Forty Mile Road near Highway 65 around 4:40 a.m. He was hit by a car and died from his injuries after being thrown into a ditch. His identity has not been released yet.
A person who saw the crash was walking next to the man on the shoulder.
A Yuba City man driving a white Mercedes left the area and its license plate was picked up by a license plate reader. Officers went to the address where the car was registered, but the driver was not at the address.
