Around 11:45 p.m. Saturday officers responded to the scene of a crash on MacArthur Boulevard near Von Karman Avenue in Newport Beach.

A pedestrian, later identified as 36-year-old Mohamad Ahmed Abdelwahhab, had been crossing MacArthur Boulevard outside of a crosswalk when he was struck by a Toyota Yaris. Abdelwahhab was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.
