SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Loved ones making an appeal for information, after two college students were seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash in the College Area.
“It’s every parent’s worst nightmare,” said Mark.
For Mark, the nightmare began two Saturdays ago, just after midnight, in the 5000 block of College Avenue.
His daughter, Emily and her friend Natalie, both 20-year-old sophomores at USD, were walking from a party to a friend’s house.
“They were simply crossing the street … One car was coming at a high rate of speed,” said Mark.
Surveillance video shows a car racing down College Avenue, before the collision. Police say a car struck the two, before driving off.
Moments later, bystanders are seen running to help the women.
Both women were rushed to a hospital with a host of injuries. Natalie suffered 7 fractured ribs and a fractured scapula. Emily was more seriously hurt, including a skull fracture and brain bleed, requiring surgery. She also suffered gruesome injuries to her ankle and elbow, requiring reconstructive surgery.
