Passenger Injured in Interstate 8 Hit-and-Run Crash [San Diego, CA]

San Diego, CA (November 08, 2021) – On Sunday, a passenger suffered injuries in an Interstate 8 hit-and-run crash.

It was about 1 a.m. when the accident happened near Mission Center Road in Mission Valley.

Officers said the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed off the side of the freeway. 

Reports also said that the vehicle turned over several times on the freeway’s right side.

Immediately, the rescuers used tools to pry open the car’s door, freeing a trapped and injured female passenger. 

The paramedics then rushed her to the hospital to treat unknown injuries.

Meanwhile, firefighters searched a nearby open field for the missing driver. However, officers did not find anyone as of early Sunday.

The authorities are investigating and looking for the vehicle’s driver.

Moreover, doing a simple safety check on your vehicle before you leave plays a big part in arriving safely at your destination.

Start by inspecting your vehicle’s headlights and turn signals. Be sure that both front and rear headlamps are working properly and visible enough a couple of yards away. 

Also, take a reading of your tire pressure and make sure you maintain the recommended maximum. While at it, take a peek under your vehicle and ensure there are no loose objects or leaks.

Most importantly, stay focused while on the road. Remove all distractions that could cause accidents such as mobile phone use, unstrapped toddlers, etc.
