Student Struck by SUV in San Diego Pedestrian Crash

SAN DIEGO, CA (January 29, 2019) – An 11-year-old student was hurt after the child was hit by an SUV in a school parking lot on Friday, January 25.

According to San Diego police, the incident occurred shortly after 8 a.m. at Ocean View Hills Elementary School, on Del Sol Boulevard in the Ocean Crest neighborhood near Otay Mesa.

The child had run in front of a 2017 Cadillac Escalade driven by a 57-year-old woman, police said.

The accident took place on an access road at the back of the school by a park, a district official stated.

The child was transported to a hospital with a head injury that officials said was not considered to be life-threatening.

According to San Ysidro School District spokesman Francisco Mata, administrators sent parents a letter to inform them of the incident. The letter stated that school staffers immediately responded and called 911.

Whether you are a driver or a pedestrian, it is important to abide by all traffic laws and observe safety precautions. If you’re behind the wheel, always watch out for pedestrians. Slow down, prepare to stop, and be extra careful especially when driving through an intersection, school zones, parks, or residential areas. If you’re a pedestrian, always walk on a sidewalk or a crosswalk. If the road doesn’t have sidewalks, walk on the shoulder and face oncoming traffic. This way, you and the motorists have a better chance of seeing one another and react if a situation arises.
