A solo vehicle collision occurred today at the intersection of Enrico Fermi Drive and Otay Mesa Road in San Diego, California. A white four-door sedan struck a construction sign in what has been classified as a hit and run incident. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
The collision took place around 3:33 PM when the vehicle collided with the construction sign. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, arriving shortly after the incident was reported. Upon their arrival, it was confirmed that there were no occupants in the vehicle, which was left unattended. Importantly, the vehicle was not blocking traffic, allowing for the continued flow of vehicles in the area.
As the situation developed, it was noted that the construction sign was part of ongoing roadwork being conducted by the county near the new Amazon facility. This construction work may have contributed to the presence of the sign at the intersection.
By 4:12 PM, authorities had confirmed the nature of the incident as a hit and run with no injuries involved. Although the final disposition of the vehicle has not been explicitly stated, it is likely that it was towed from the scene due to the circumstances of the incident.
