On November 15, 2020, at approximately 7:46 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department and EMS personnel responded to a traffic collision involving a vehicle and a pedestrian that occurred on C Street north of Fifth Street. Officers determined that a 2014 Cadillac ATS sedan struck a 30-year-old male of Oxnard. The pedestrian sustained significant injuries and was transported to the Ventura County Medical Center where he is listed in critical condition. The driver of the Cadillac remained at the scene and provided information regarding the collision.
