A tip o' the ball cap to @Keepalowprofile.

The death of a Pasadena City College professor who was struck by a vehicle involved in a street race while jogging with his dog and girlfriend in San Marino was preventable and avoidable, Mayor Steven Huang said Friday.

"This was not an accident but the result of two juveniles entering our city, racing each other resulting in the death of an innocent man," Huang told City News Service.

Coroner's officials did not immediately release the victim's name, but friends identified him to reporters as Gabriel Crispo, who taught English as a second language. Around 10:35 a.m. on Independence Day, the man was struck on Huntington Drive near Kenilworth Avenue, San Marino police Detective Vince Wilson said.

"Two vehicles were seen traveling at a high rate of speed westbound on Huntington Drive approaching Kenilworth Avenue," Wilson said. "Witnesses stated the two vehicles appeared to be racing. The two vehicles collided, causing one of them to lose control, striking the pedestrian and his dog in the center median."

Little assholes.

I remember when we wanted to race we went out of town. Either to the old airport (before they put up a fence)or just out on a straight country road.
