CHINO HILLS >> A 22-year-old man was struck by a car and killed early Monday morning while outside of his car on the 71 Freeway in Chino Hills.

Christian Ramos of Chino was driving south on the 71 just north of Chino Avenue with a male passenger at about 2:55 a.m. when he was involved in a crash that disabled his 1998 Honda, according to a California Highway Patrol news release.

Ramos and the passenger got out of the car, which was blocking the No. 2 and No. 3 lanes, the news release says. A Pomona man pulled to the shoulder and got out of his car to go help them.

As the three men tended to Ramos’ car, a 51-year-old Chino woman driving in the No. 3 lane crashed into it. The three men were struck by the two cars.

Ramos was pronounced dead at the scene, the news release says. The other two men were taken to a hospital to be treated.
