SAN DIEGO, CA (January 23, 2018) – Early Tuesday morning around 12:40 AM, a man was hit and killed by three cars in the Liberty Station Area of Loma Point, two of which were hit-and-runs.
 
The man was crossing Rosecrans Street from Voltaire Street to Farragut Road, when a green Toyota struck and dragged him for a short distance. Leaving him in the middle of the road, the car then fled from the scene. A second unidentified vehicle then hit the man and also left the injured man in the road. Finally a third car crashed into the man, but pulled over to call 911.
 
The woman driving the green Toyota called the police from her home about two hours after the crash. She has not yet been arrested, but will likely face felony hit-and-run charges.
