Anyone who has driven in Pacific Beach understands that there are certain aspects of this neighborhood that can be confusing when you are behind the wheel.  There are many unexpected stop signs and pedestrians can appear from seemingly anywhere.  However, that does not mean that drivers are absolved of responsibility when they make a mistake and someone is critically injured as a result.  While not enough is yet known to assign fault, what is known is that a woman was critically injured in a Pacific Beach pedestrian accident on Saturday.

According to the authorities, this Pacific Beach pedestrian accident occurred late on Saturday afternoon at just after 5 p.m.  A woman was riding in a vehicle that stopped at the intersection of Cass Street and Loring Street, and she got out of the car.  At the same time, a Jeep hauling a trailer moved around the stopped vehicle and hit the woman, pinning her underneath a tire.  She was critically injured and rushed to a nearby hospital.
