A hit-and-run incident occurred tonight at the Amazon facility located at 6971 Otay Mesa Road in San Diego, CA. At approximately 8:05 PM, a vehicle collided with a fence on the west side of the property. The driver abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene on foot, prompting a response from emergency services.
Units arrived on the scene by 8:41 PM to assess the situation. Upon investigation, it was determined that the vehicle was undriveable and had been left without keys, necessitating a towing request. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries associated with this incident.
The timeline of events unfolded quickly. Just a minute after the collision, the driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle behind. Emergency services were notified shortly after, leading to the arrival of a tow truck by 9:05 PM. The tow truck was confirmed to be on-site by 10:10 PM, ensuring the vehicle would be removed safely.
Authorities noted that there was no security present at the facility's gate, which complicated the towing process. Officers advised the tow truck driver to remain on Otay Mesa Road while they contacted Amazon to gain access to the property.
As of now, the investigation into the hit-and-run continues, with authorities seeking any information regarding the driver who fled the scene. Witnesses or anyone with relevant information are encouraged to come forward to assist in resolving this case.
