2 Women Injured In San Diego Hit-And-Run Crash

SAN DIEGO, CA — Two women were injured Saturday after they were struck by an unknown driver who fled the scene in the College East neighborhood of San Diego.

San Diego Police Department officers responded at 12:30 a.m. to the 5000 block of College Avenue where they learned the suspect was driving a black or silver BMW south on College when a 20-year-old woman and a 19-year-old woman ran front of the BMW, the police department said.
