[05-13-2020] San Diego, CA – One Woman Critically Injured After a Hit and Run Traffic Collision in Spring Valley

One unidentified woman sustained severe injuries after a hit-and-run traffic collision in Spring Valley on Wednesday morning, May 13th.

According to the initial reports from local authorities, the crash occurred at around 11:20 a.m. A 2009 Honda Accord and a Toyota Camry collided near Paraiso Avenue and San Francisco Street.

The driver of the Honda fled the scene after the collision and headed southbound on Paraiso. The Honda driver then later T-boned a Volkswagen CC traveling eastbound after failing to stop at an intersection on Jamacha Boulevard.

Due to the severity of the collision, both of the cars crashed into two parked cars. The woman driving the Volkswagen was rushed to the Scripps Mercy Hospital to be treated for her life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the Honda sustained minor injuries and was also taken to the hospital.

Hit and Run Crash Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are now investigating the case. The hit-and-run driver will most likely face criminal charges once caught. He’s expected to be arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run and reckless driving causing injury.

In most states, drivers are required to remain at the scene during an accident and wait for the police to arrive. Unfortunately, approximately 11 percent of all crashes are caused by a hit-and-run driver. There are several reasons why suspects would flee from the scene. Some of the common causes are intoxication, driving without a license, and fear of getting arrested if they remained at the scene.

When facing cases like this, it’s essential to have an experienced San Diego hit and run accident attorney to conduct an independent probe. Attorneys have the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, and review applicable insurance coverage for their client. All possible contributing factors, such as road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting, must be considered and thoroughly examined during the independent investigation as well.
