Uber Driver Carmina Johnson Seriously Injured after Hit-And-Run Crash on Broadway in Chula Vista

Chula Vista, CA (January 5, 2024) – Early morning on New Year’s Day, 54-year-old Uber driver Carmina Johnson sustained injuries in a crash on Broadway.

The crash occurred around 4 a.m. on New Year’s Day as Johnson, driving a Toyota Prius north on Broadway, encountered a gray 2008 Chevy Silverado crossing into her lane near F Street. “I was going to pick up a girl, and it was going to be my last trip,” Johnson recounted. “I just look down and look up, and I remember that I saw a huge truck already coming towards me.”

The collision resulted in severe injuries, including broken bones in her leg and ankle, requiring reconstructive surgery, and a fractured collarbone. “When he hit me, I felt everything, and then my airbags covered everything inside. I couldn’t move, and I was desperate to get out,” Johnson explained.

A bystander, hearing Johnson’s cries, assisted in pulling her from the car. Police detained and questioned the passenger, while the Chevy Silverado’s driver fled the scene.

Recounting her trauma, Johnson said, “I saw my foot that it was destroyed, disfigured, and I started screaming.” Despite her physical pain, she voiced her distress over the driver’s actions: “It’s a coward. Why do they do something bad and run away? … I think they shouldn’t do that to someone. They should have humanity.”

The Chula Vista Police Department, not ruling out DUI, continues to investigate the case, with no arrests yet. Johnson appeals publicly for any information to help identify and apprehend the driver.

“Please help me to find him and bring him to justice, because what he did is not right,” Johnson implored. The public can provide tips to Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477. Additionally, a GoFundMe campaign is underway to support Johnson with her medical and other expenses.
