Hit And Run Wreck

Via NBC San Diego, this news (more photos here) of a hit-and-run wreck that seriously injured a mother of four, but spared her kids:

Police said that the driver of a pickup truck took off running after he hit a truck with a mother and her four children inside.

The wreck took place on Monday afternoon on Melody Road in Jamul.

According to investigators, the truck with the family inside was following behind the suspect's pickup, which had pulled over to the shoulder. When the family drove by the truck, its driver pulled out to make a U-turn and slammed into her truck. Authorities said the driver fled the scene. A passenger riding inside the vehicle stayed with the pickup, investigators said. The children were apparently unharmed in the wreck, but their mother was seriously injured.

The driver fled the scene on foot. Given that the police have his truck and his passenger, one would think the police would be able to identify, locate and apprehend him quickly. I sure hope so...

I don't know anything further about this incident. If any of my readers know more, please leave comments with the additional information.
