A 74-year-old man walking near a freeway on-ramp in the Casa de Oro area suffered serious injuries when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver early Wednesday.
The man was hit by the vehicle shortly after 5:50 a.m. as he was walking across the on-ramp to westbound state Route 94 at Bancroft Drive, said California Highway Patrol Officer Travis Garrow.
The name of the injured man was not immediately released. He suffered major injuries and was transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, Garrow said.
Investigators so far have been unable to find anyone who witnessed the crash so there’s no suspect or vehicle description. An investigator was trying to see if there was any surveillance video taken in the area.

Given the pressures of the coronavirus pandemic, it isn’t surprising that drinking alcohol has risen dramatically over the past year. You or someone you know has probably ordered liquor online, become very fond of ready-to-drink cocktails or thrown a Zoom quarantini party.
A spike in alcohol use, however, has also raised health concerns about a rise in heavy drinking among those particularly women who are struggling to cope as the pandemic wears on.
Total alcohol sales outside of bars and restaurants surged roughly 24 percent after the pandemic restrictions began in mid-March 2020, according to a Nielsen marketing report that NPR cited in September; sales of liquor with higher alcohol content grew by 27 percent. Drizly, an online alcohol delivery service, had a 350 percent jump in sales during the pandemic, a spokeswoman told NPR.
