The man killed on U.S. Highway 101 near Herrick Avenue on Saturday night still hasn't been identified. 

The coroner's office — after following a lead on the victim's identity that turned out to be incorrect — has submitted his fingerprints in the hopes that it will lead to his identity. 

The man, who was wearing dark clothing, was hit in a southbound lane of the highway just before 9 p.m. by a 19-year-old Fortuna resident, according to a California Highway Patrol incident report. The driver, who received minor injuries, pulled over to the shoulder after hitting the man and waited for emergency personnel. 

The pedestrian died at the scene, and the driver was sober, according to the report. The Journal will update this post when the man is identified.

The crash appears to be the sixth vehicle related death in the county this year. Last year saw 28 deaths on county roads, making Humboldt one of the deadliest counties for traffic accidents.
