A 79-year-old man died Wednesday evening after being hit by a vehicle near Bayfair Mall, police said.

Karl Eric Karlsson, of San Lorenzo, was walking north across Fairmont Drive -- toward Fairmont Square shopping center -- when he was struck by a four-door 1998 Honda Civic being driven by a 67-year-old Oakland woman leaving the shopping center parking lot, Sgt. Randy Hudson said.

Karlsson was taken to an East Bay hospital, where he was pronounced dead at

6:10 p.m., he said.

No drugs or alcohol were involved, Hudson said.

Authorities are investigating the accident, he said.

No improper cigarettes sales found during check

Police, conducting a discount cigarettes enforcement operation last week, found no incidents of minors being allowed to purchase cheap cigarettes products, authorities said.

Minors, acting as decoys, visited about 40 cheap cigarettes retail businesses throughout the city, trying to make the illegal purchases, Sgt. Matias Pardo said.

"There were zero violators," he said.

Officers also conducted compliance checks with nearly 10 bars or restaurant-bars to ensure there was no smoking cigarettes within 20 feet of main entrances to the establishments, police said.
