El Cajon police are looking for an SUV with damage following a fatal hit-and-run crash that left one person hospitalized.

A man was rushed to Sharp Memorial Hospital with life threatening injuries after the crash at Mollison Avenue and Lexington Street around 7 p.m. Monday.

Witnesses say the victim was already in the intersection after the traffic light changed. He was hit by a sedan, rolled off the back of the car and was then hit by an oncoming dark-colored SUV.

The person behind the wheel of the SUV drove off but the sedan driver stayed.

His daughter-in-law told NBC 7 he didn’t see the man in the moments before the impact shattered his vehicle’s windshield.

"He is very shaken,” said Kathie Kitagawa. “He doesn't know what to do he just feels horrible."

El Cajon police said no one was cited in the incident.
