A suspect involved in a minor hit-and-run that became a police pursuit died after he was taken to the hospital, police said.
The 26-year-old male was involved in a minor hit-and-run at approximately 10:30 p.m. Friday.
The suspect fled the scene and was driving the wrong way on Cedar Street when a California Highway Patrol officer spotted the suspect driving straight toward him.
The man made a U-turn in front of the cop and the officer pursued him until he ultimately made a left turn on Juniper Street and ran into a retaining wall near the 2300 block of 1st Avenue in Banker’s Hill.
The suspect was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The San Diego Police Traffic Division is investigating.
