VALLEY CENTER, CA (June 26, 2023) – Tuesday night, Richard Vaughn Dye Sr was fatally struck by two vehicles on Lilac Road. 

CHP officers responded to the collision around 8:30 p.m., west of Hideaway Lake Road. 

According to the report, a Dye Sr. was walking in the area when he crossed Lilac Road in a southerly direction.
