SDSU Student Critically Injured in Hit-and-Run Crash

A San Diego State University student was found critically injured in the middle of the road near campus and the driver believed to be responsible turned himself into police.

The 19-year-old man was found in the intersection at Montezuma Road and Campanile Drive with a head injury and a broken leg at 11 p.m. Monday.

The teenager was struck by a charcoal grey Toyota Four Runner SUV while walking in the crosswalk, police said.

There were some witnesses who said the driver had a green light, police said.

The driver behind the wheel of the SUV initially left the scene with the pedestrian in the road.

Then, at approximately 3 a.m., a 17-year-old driver turned himself into police along with his SUV for evidence, officials said.

The location of the crash is near student housing and approximately two blocks south of the heart of the SDSU campus.
