The accident took place early Sunday morning, according to the San Diego Police Department's Watch Commander's log. The 26-year-old man was hit as he crossed the street mid-block by a 20-year-old female driving a 2021 Nissan Altima.
Emergency services responded to the scene, with the victim swiftly transported to a local hospital for the treatment of a fractured pelvis. Officials stated that alcohol did not seem to play a role in this unfortunate incident. Traffic units have arrived shortly to take over and thoroughly investigate the matter.
Concerning the ongoing investigation, the SDPD has issued an appeal for witnesses. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call the listed Command handling the investigation or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477, the police department urged on their website.
