AGOURA HILLS, CA — Authorities Wednesday identified a pedestrian who was struck and killed by a vehicle on the eastbound Ventura (101) Freeway in Agoura Hills.

Edgardo Hernandez, 27, died at the scene of his injury, which occurred about 2:30 a.m. Monday on the freeway at Kanan Road, said coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His home town was not known.
