Aug 27th, 2009 by RichmondJ
A resident of Tijuana that was involved in a hit-and-run accident has died of unfortunate injuries in San Diego, according to reports. Gregorio Bejar Valencia, 64, was only in a hospital for a short time before he was pronounced dead. Valencia had been injured earlier on State Route 94′s onramp in Golden Hill, where another vehicle struck his, which was stopped on the side of the road at the time of the accident. Valencia’s vehicle, a pickup truck, took a stop on the road side in order for he and his passenger to clean the windshield. Another vehicle, a 1989 Nissan Sentra driving on the same road,ran into the back of the truck, also knocking over Valencia in the process.
Initially, the driver who hit Valencia stopped as if he was going to attend to the accident, but upon finding the seriously injured Valencia, who had suffered major leg injuries, the driver for some reason chose to flee the scene. Mendoza, the passenger of Valencia’s pickup, took some cuts to the knee but was otherwise uninjured. San Diego police are currently following leads for the hit0and-run driver, a man described as Hispanic and in his 30s. Police plan to charge him with felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter, authorities said.
