Driver Sought in Hit and Run of Mira Mesa Toddler

Police are searching for a driver who hit and injured a toddler on a scooter in Mira Mesa last month and then left the scene.

Officers have released a photo of the suspect’s car in hopes of tracking down the driver. The car is described as a late 90s teal green Honda Accord.

The driver was described as a woman in her 60s, San Diego police said.

Police said the Honda may have a dent near the driver’s side headlight.

The hit and run happened the afternoon of Nov. 29, when a 2-year-old boy rode away from his parents and into the street in the 11200 block of Westonhill Drive.

The car sped off after hitting the boy, continuing north on Westonhill Drive.

The 2-year-old was taken to Rady Children's Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and was determined to have a fractured skull and pelvis.
