A 74-year-old pedestrian was struck by a hit-and-run driver Wednesday in Lincoln park, police said.
According to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD), an unknown driver in a white sedan and his passenger were traveling southbound on 47th Street, near the 4700 block of Solala Avenue, at around 5:30 p.m. As the driver made a left turn, he crashed into the pedestrian.
Initially, both the driver and passenger, a man and a woman, got out of the sedan to comfort the victim. Police said the elderly pedestrian suffered a pelvis fracture, among other internal injuries.
After inspecting the wounded man, the driver got back into his vehicle and drove off in the southbound lane on 47th Street. Police said the woman who accompanied the driver also fled the scene, leaving on foot on Solola Avenue.
The hit-and-run suspects have not yet been identified or arrested. Police have not released a description of the suspects or further details on the suspects' vehicle.
The victim's condition is not considered life-threatening, according to police. An investigation by the SDPD Traffic Division is ongoing.
