The injured man was taken to a hospital, where he died, police said. Information on his identity was not immediately available.
"The preliminary investigation revealed a Lexus sedan was driving west on Pacific Coast Highway and collided with a pedestrian crossing south across Pacific Coast Highway outside of a marked crosswalk," an LBPD statement said.
"The driver remained on scene and cooperated with the investigation," the police statement said. "Speed, distracted driving and impaired driving do not appear to have contributed to this collision."
