South Lake Tahoe man hit and killed in Nevada City

A South Lake Tahoe man was killed Wednesday night after being struck by a car in Nevada City.

Ronson Sakioka, 64, was attending that community's Victorian Christmas and was attempting to cross Highway 49 when he was struck by a Honda Pilot driven by a Nevada City resident. The driver did not see Sakioka according to California Highway Patrol Sgt. Brian Waughn.

Sakiok was flown to Roseville where he died.

Waughn said the driver and passenger of the Honda were not injured, and no charges are pending at this time. He says drugs and alcohol were not a factor with the driver.

Visibility is not good on that stretch of the highway at night as there are no crosswalks or street lights, according to Waughn.

The accident is still under investigation.
