Man Struck in Collision in Huntington Beach Dies

A 67-year-old transient injured in a collision earlier this month has died, authorities said Wednesday.

The collision occurred at about 7 p.m. Oct. 5 at Pacific Coast Highway and Beach Boulevard.

The victim, who died Tuesday, was identified as Earl Venosdel, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Coroner's Department.

A motorcyclist, who is still fighting for his life in critical condition, was heading southbound on Pacific Coast Highway at Beach when he struck Venosdel in a south crosswalk, police said.

The 42-year-old motorcyclist from Buena Park was knocked off his vehicle, which kept going until it collided with a Toyota Rav4, police said.

The Toyota's driver, a 34-year-old woman from Huntington Beach, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the collision. Anyone with information was asked to call police at 714-536-5231.
