A 67-year-old man was struck and killed near a San Mateo bus stop in a hit-and-run collision on Saturday, police said.
Officers responded to a reported hit-and-run crash involving a pedestrian in the 1700 block of South Delaware Street at about 11:30 a.m., according to San Mateo police.
Arriving officers found San Mateo resident Reynaldo Aguiniga pinned between a concrete garbage can and a tree near a San Mateo County Transportation Authority bus stop.
Aguiniga was taken to a hospital where died, police said.
Police said Aguiniga was hit when the driver of a green 1994 Chevrolet Camaro - who was later identified as Josue Lopez, 26, of San Mateo -- apparently lost control his vehicle as he sped out of a nearby parking lot, police said.
Lopez' car struck a garbage can that dislodged and hit Aguiniga, pushing him several feet into a tree, police said.

Lopez allegedly got out of his car and checked on Aguilar before driving off, police said, beofre adding that a five-year-old child was in the back seat of the Camaro at the time of the crash.

There was no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved in the collision.
Lopez was booked at San Mateo County Jail for vehicular manslaughter, felony hit and run and child endangerment.
