San Diego Police Hunt for Hit and Run Driver

Topic: Wrongful Death

San Diego police are on the lookout for an SUV driver who was involved in a hit and run accident resulting in the wrongful death of a 46 year-old man.

The accident took place on November 9th, and sounds like something out of an action movie. At about 4:30 am, the victim, Larry Irving was fighting with another man driving a black Toyota 4Runner. Irving standing on the running-board of the 4Runner and the two men seemed to be engaged in some kind of brawl when the driver of the SUV suddenly slammed on the brakes. Irving was thrown in front of the car. The SUV driver, reportedly a young Latino man then accelerated his car and ran over the injured man on the street. He barely looked at the man on the ground before speeding away. Irving was admitted to hospital with severe head injuries, where he died the next day.

Now San Diego police have launched a search for the young driver of the SUV. The police say he was of slender build, had a thin moustache, and was wearing a baseball cap and a polo shirt. Talk about looking for a needle in a haystack!

Nobody knows what the two men were fighting about and there don't seem to have been any witnesses to the accident. The San Diego Police Department has asked any witnesses to come forward with their testimony.

Road rage seems to have been a factor in this accident. In recent weeks, the state has seen a slew of road rage and aggressive driving related accidents, most of them claiming innocent victims or bystanders. Even where road rage is concerned, this particular case seems especially horrific.
