In a shocking twist of fate on the streets of Pacific Beach, San Diego, a seemingly routine crossing turned tragic when a 30-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were ruthlessly struck by a hit-and-run driver, authorities reported. The couple, lawfully traversing Grand Avenue at the Bayard Street crosswalk, fell victim to a reckless 28-year-old motorist, who blew through a red light and hit them before fleeing the scene. The pair sustained multiple fractures and were rushed to a local hospital, as confirmed by the San Diego Police Department's Watch Commander's log.
The incident, logged with the number 01640, unfolded on June 2nd, shortly after 2 a.m. It was not long before law enforcement caught up with the fleeing driver—now in custody. The Watch Commander, Officer S. Foster, disclosed that alcohol was a key element in this disastrous equation. Traffic units are taking the helm of the investigation, piecing together the remnants of a night that turned sour. For those willing to shed light on this incident, San Diego police urge witnesses to step forward.
The identities of the injured couple have yet to be disclosed as the investigation continues. The seriousness of the charges awaiting the driver when he sobered up was intensified by the injuries inflicted upon the victims. For those seeking more details about the ongoing case, updates can be found on the official San Diego Government website.
