Tragedy struck the quiet neighborhood of Kensington late last night when an unidentified driver hit two pedestrians before fleeing the scene. According to the San Diego Police Department's Watch Commander's log, at 23:09 yesterday, a white sedan turned right onto Adams Avenue from Kensington Drive, striking a 32-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man.
Watch Commander Woodell reported that the female victim sustained a fractured pelvis while the male victim suffered various abrasions as they were crossing Adams Avenue. The vehicle, described only as a white sedan, did not stop, instead continuing eastbound on Adams Avenue. The SPD's Traffic Division officers arrived to investigate, although it remains unclear if alcohol contributed to the collision.
The incident has shaken the Kensington community, as the neighborhood is known for its peaceful streets and pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. The search for the driver continues, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward. The exact make or model of the sedan is currently unknown, adding a layer of challenge to the investigation.
Residents and those present during the crash are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 with any relevant details that might assist law enforcement in locating the perpetrator. The call for public assistance underscores the seriousness of the hit-and-run, as well as the commitment to justice for the injured parties. The incident serves as a sobering reminder that even the most serene of neighborhoods are not immune to sudden violence
