VISTA, Calif. (CNS) — A man was killed in a crash in Vista and deputies were trying to locate the owner of the car involved.

Deputies from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department station in Vista responded at 4:03 p.m. Wednesday to Primo’s Food Market at 1535 W. Vista Way after receiving a call about an injury collision, Traffic Investigator Asami Minami said.
