San Diego Personal Injury Lawyers

Anyone who is familiar with the Pacific Beach area understands that the intersection of Grand Avenue and Lamont Street can be confusing for anyone who encounters it.  Several different outlets converge there in a condensed area, and San Diego car accidents take place in this location frequently.  Unfortunately, people on foot are also in danger there, and a man was seriously injured late last week in a Pacific Beach pedestrian accident that police are still investigating.

According to the authorities, what turned out to be a Pacific Beach hit-and-run accident occurred on Friday morning at approximately 1:30 a.m.  A 28-year-old man got out of a taxi cab at that location and attempted to cross the street.  As he did so, he was hit by the driver of a white Toyota sedan and seriously injured.  The driver of the Toyota fled the scene and the taxi cab driver also left the area and likely did not see the crash.
