Woman Suffers Serious Injuries After Hit-And-Run

A woman is in the hospital after a man hit her with his car and took off, Sheriffโ€™s deputies said.

At approximately 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, the driver was heading down Vista Way when the driver claimed a woman stepped into the roadway, deputies said.

He told officials he could not avoid her and ran her over, and instead of stopping to help her, drove off instead.

An hour later, he called the Vista Sheriffโ€™s station and told deputies he left because he was afraid of what would happen if he stayed.

Deputies later arrested the man and charged him with felony hit-and-run.

The victim is at Palomar Hospital with serious injuries.
