A preliminary investigation indicates the man was crossing Soscol from west to east and the Toyota was headed north on the roadway at the time of the incident, according to police, who said drugs or alcohol did not appear to be factors in the collision.
All four lanes of Soscol were closed between Lincoln Avenue and Carolina Street for nearly six hours as Napa Police investigated the crash. The road reopened to traffic shortly before 12:45 a.m. Wednesday.
