Investigators released photos Tuesday of the vehicle suspected of hitting a woman as she crossed an East Village street in her wheelchair over the weekend -- a hit-and-run that left her with several broken bones.
The 47-year-old woman was crossing the roadway near the intersection of Park Boulevard and F Street just before 4 a.m. Saturday when a westbound vehicle, likely a silver, newer model SUV, ran over her.
San Diego Police Department (SDPD) investigators said the driver stopped for a moment, then fled westbound on F Street. The driver turned northbound on 11th Street and was last seen driving eastbound on E Street.

Three days later, investigators released surveillance photos of the suspect's car, described as a newer SUV with chrome rims, a tinted sun-roof and possibly tinted windows.
Police said the SUV had its headlights and fog lights on when the driver struck the woman. The vehicle may have sustained damage to its front end and undercarriage in the crash. At this point, there is no description of the driver.
The victim suffered two broken legs and a broken pelvis but will survive her injuries, police said.
