Woman Files Claim Against City of San Diego for Stray Golf Ball

Because the woman said the ball came from the city-owned Balboa Golf Course, she filed a complaint with the city of San Diego in February.

A woman injured when a golf ball struck her carโ€™s windshield wants the city of San Diego to be held accountable.

Krista H. was driving along Pershing and 26th street in December when a golf ball landed on her windshield, shattering it.

โ€œIt went down to my eye,โ€ she explained Tuesday. โ€œIt was the worst spot to hit because this is my upper corner side of the driverโ€™s side.โ€

The woman went to the emergency room where she was told glass from her car's windshield had scratched her left eye.

Because she said the ball came from the city-owned Balboa Park Golf Course, Krista filed a claim with the city of San Diego in February.

โ€œThey're not keeping residents safe,โ€ she said. โ€œThey are not addressing my situation when I was seeking to get reimbursed for my claim and medical bill.โ€

The city asks for 45 days to process a claim. More than 60 days have passed since Krista filed her claim and she's yet to hear from representatives from the city.
