A late-night drive in Jurupa Valley turned deadly early Saturday when a 22-year-old Los Angeles man was struck and killed in a hit-and-run on Van Buren Boulevard, authorities said. Deputies found him lying in the roadway near Jurupa Road just after midnight, and Riverside County Fire Department paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The Riverside County coroner later identified him as Sean Heiderich, and investigators say the driver who hit him took off and has not been found.
